2007Romanian Pottery - Peasant dishes III - First Day Cover

Romfilatelia, the company specialized in editing and trading Romanian postage stamps,
introduces into the postal circuit the stamp issue ROMANIAN POTTERY - Peasant dishes (III).

The ornamental motifs with which the plates are decorated are basically geometrical, but also phytomorphic, avimorphic, zoomorphic and anthropomorphic. One of the oldest decorative geometrical motives is the triangle, which is also encountered on the prehistoric ceramics and appears in different forms (a series of triangles of the same size), "the saw" or "the wolf’s fang" (triangles arranged alternatively up-down).
