Pair Marbleized Terra Cotta Italian Obelisks
About the Item
This pair of objects were made around 1900 to 1910 in Italy. They are crafted from hand-molded terra cotta that has been marbleized with colored slip and fired in low heat creating a matte surface. The unusual triangular form is based on 16th & 17th-century interpretations of ancient obelisks found in Roman Baroque gardens. The marbled effect is also seen in Wedgewood pieces from the late 18th century in England during the neoclassic period expressed by designers such as Robert Adam. The pair have several small old repairs but are in good shape and very decorative. Interesting to note that they both have the original paper labels still attached
