19th Century Italian Majolica Fountain Body/Vase
About the Item
This colorful antique Italian Majolica vase dates to the 1800s. This type of pottery was first produced during the Italian Renaissance, and it often depicted historical and mythological scenes. This vase has a mascaron motif with an opening in its mouth. This means that it was created as fountain or water vessel, and liquid would have been released from a bronze spout emanating from the mascaron, into a basin beneath. There are four oval, hand painted, scenes outlined by different raised relief floral and foliate motifs. The neck and pedestal each have various motifs of painted figures, flowers, cherubs and more. The vase is signed on the bottom. From Italy, this fabulous hand painted vase will be an attractive focal point anywhere in the home.

- Antique 19th Century Italian Maiolica Pot of the Renaissance StyleLocated in Dallas, TXVivid colors, hand-painted in the Renaissance style, enhance this large maiolica pot from the 1800’s. Maiolica is tin-glazed pottery from Italy that has been decorated over a white background. This pot is considered an istoriato, which is to say that the pot has been decorated with figures, rather than strictly geometric patterns or floral designs. The maiolica does incorporate floral and foliate motifs, with white flowers that have yellow centers surrounded by blue rings. There are also yellow flowers that are depicted in various stages of nyctinasty (the closing of flowers during the night). The flora is all connected by a series of green and yellow curled leaves. Behind the vegetation is a dark blue background. There are two portraits inside large yellow cartouches that are painted in the middle of the pot. The first is a bearded man, dressed in a light brown tunic...Category

- Large Antique Italian Blue and White Lidded Urn, 19th CenturyLocated in Dallas, TXThis stunning lidded urn might have once been found in a 19th century Italian apothecary. The front of the shaped urn body has the hand-painted phrase “C. Violaru”, which is the heavily abbreviated form of the Latin word for violet (violaceum). Up until the mid-1700’s, apothecaries would make syrups from violets and use it to treat kidney ailments. Above the Latin wording is a whimsical musical scene with a man blowing a horn leading a couple who is holding hands over rocky terrain lined with shrubbery. A large house and trees can be seen behind the trio with a pair of mountains in the distance. On the opposite side of the urn is a floral display with a bird perched on a rock. Beneath the bird is a geometric design, possibly a stylized sun with radiating beams of light. Both scenes are segmented by a pair of thin quarter round moldings that encircle the entire vase. Other hand-painted motifs include floral and foliate margents, geometric patterns, and Vitruvian waves that are infilled with horizontal fluting. The sides of the urn have a fish-scale background beneath two mustachioed mascarons. Both men have been styled in grotesque fashion, with a pair of spiraled horns emanating from their heads. In between the horns is a looping handle that is affixed to the body in similar tight spirals. The domed lid has three scrolled arms that merge in a geometric finial. The base color of the urn is white, with illustrations in a monochromatic cobalt oxide blue, reminiscent of Delft blue pottery...Category
