Featured Help with pottery plate, Italian?

Hello, friends. I picked up this 12 1/2" plate yesterday. It is quite heavy. The base ring has holes to thread wire to hang it but I'd be afraid to do that, it's too heavy. The signature is incised into slip and the outlines are done the same way. The color is painted over it. Google lens said it is Italian or Mediterranean majolica, possibly from Salerno. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Linda

 

I think Moroccan, called "Maroc" in French.

 

C'mon...trust the pottery folks to know their craft...those holes would probably support 40 pounds. String it UP!

 

very pretty !!!

 

It does say "Maroc" so identification as Moroccan correct.

That's what this non-pottie thought before ever seeing the back. North African anyway.

I really like that one. The colors and design are so nice.

 

Appears to be a piece from Poterie Elfarah in Salé.

Very nice. The motifs remind me of the traditional facial tattoos of Amazigh (Berber) women:



Nowadays only elderly women have the tattoos, but some young women paint the motifs on for special occasions, a way of continuing tradition in modern times:
