Mid-Century Raised Relief Strawberry Wall Plaque | Hand-Glazed Pottery | Circa 1950s

A Sweet Slice of 1950s Kitchen Charm in Raised Ceramic Relief

Nothing says vintage kitchen quite like glossy strawberries in raised relief. This circa 1950s ceramic wall plaque features life-size strawberries nestled together on a textured green wicker-style plate, capturing the cheerful cottage aesthetic so popular in mid-century homes.

The strawberries are sculpted in dimensional relief and hand-glazed in warm red tones with green leafy tops. Subtle variation in the glaze gives the piece depth and character, while the lightly matte areas on the fruit add to its handmade feel. The green plate beneath has a woven basket texture that enhances the farmhouse look.

Compact yet substantial, the plaque measures approximately 5″ in diameter and 2″ deep and is designed for wall display. A maker’s mark is present on the back, though it is difficult to read. It remains in good vintage condition with no cracks, chips, or crazing. The glaze variation on the strawberries appears consistent with hand-finishing rather than wear.

Perfect for a retro kitchen, pantry nook, breakfast area, or gallery wall of fruit-themed décor.

🍓 Collector’s Note: Fruit wall plaques were a popular decorative accent in 1950s kitchens, reflecting the era’s love of cheerful, food-inspired home design. Grouped with other ceramic produce or displayed alone, they bring instant mid-century warmth.
