Roma Inc Italian Blue Spongeware Serving Bowl

Roma Inc. Italian Spongeware Serving Bowl, hand-painted ceramic produced in Italy for Roma Inc. of Brooklyn, New York, likely dating to the late 1990s–2010s. This generously sized bowl features a classic blue spongeware pattern, created using traditional sponge-painting techniques that give the surface its richly mottled cobalt blue and white texture. The underside mark notes “Handpainted in Italy” and identifies Roma Inc., an importer known for bringing Italian ceramics and tabletop pieces to the American market. The bowl’s wide, gently flared form makes it ideal for serving salads, pasta, fruit, or as a decorative centerpiece in farmhouse, coastal, or Mediterranean-style kitchens. Durable ceramic construction and the lively spongeware decoration make it both functional and visually striking for everyday table service or display. Offered in good vintage condition with minor wear consistent with age and use.
