Footed Ceramic Trivet Hand-Painted with Colorful Flowering Fruit, Made in Italy

A heavy porcelain footed trivet hand-painted with an image of flowering fruit in tones of red, orange, yellow, and green on a glossy white background.  The trivet measures 5 3/4" square, 1" high, and weighs over one pound.  The piece is signed by the artist and the bottom is marked "Dipinto a mano" which is Italian for "painted by hand."  The condition is very good.
