✨ Authentic Cypriot Folk Art This Souvatza rooster plate represents one of the most iconic forms of Cypriot pottery. It shows two colourful roosters facing each other, painted in bright red, yellow, green, and blue tones. Their bold feathers create movement and life. The two brown rings around the central motif give balance and highlight the folk style. �� Hand-Painted & Marked The plate is made of glazed earthenware and carries the original stamp on the back. This important mark confirms its origin and authenticity. Every plate was painted by, so each one is slightly different. Because of this unique process, no two pieces are identical. ��️ Mid-Century Cyprus Tradition The plate dates from the 1970s–1980s, a period when many Cypriot homes used local pottery every day. It now works beautifully as wall décor, a shelf display, or part of a Mediterranean folk art collection. It suits rustic kitchens, tavern interior design, and traditional homes. �� Symbolism & Collectible Value Roosters symbolize good luck, protection, and prosperity in many village traditions. Therefore, this plate makes a meaningful gift. Collectors often pair it with Lefkara embroidery, copper items, or other Greek folk crafts. Its vivid colours make any space brighter and more joyful. ��️ Era 1970s – 1980s �� Storytelling �� A Plate Full of Memories Imagine a small stone kitchen in a Cypriot village. Sunlight enters through a wooden window. This plate hangs above the table next to copper pans and painted jugs. A family gathers for lunch, and the colourful roosters watch over them like lucky symbols. Today, the same plate brings that warmth, history, and simple beauty into any modern home.
