About the Item

A pair of Italian Turn of the century blue and white faience lidded jars from circa 1900 with faun motifs, volute handles, heraldic shields and lions. This exquisite pair of Italian faience lidded jars, dating back to the turn of the century circa 1900, presents a captivating blend of artistry and mythological charm. Each jar is adorned with vibrant blue and white motifs that tell tales of fauns, heraldic shields, and majestic lions, bringing a piece of Italian heritage into the home. The intricate details extend to garlands and foliage, with large beads adding texture and depth to the design. Volute handles curve gracefully from the sides, leading the eye towards the jars' domed lids, which are themselves works of art. Resting on a fluted flaring base that transitions into a square platform, these jars exhibit a classical elegance and stability. Incorporating these jars into a home setting, they could serve as the centerpiece of a dining room buffet or mantle, adding a touch of Italianate grandeur. Alternatively, placed in an entryway or living room, they would not only be decorative but could also be functional, perhaps housing small, cherished collectibles. Their historical motifs and color scheme make them versatile for various interior designs, from traditional to more eclectic spaces, where they can spark conversations about history, mythology, and art. The bases measure 11" x 11".

Antique Blue and White Lidded Vases from Savona, Italy, Circa 1800
Located in Dallas, TX
During the 17th through 19th centuries, highly skilled artisans in Savona, Italy, produced beautiful tin-glazed earthenware known as maiolica (majolica). These blue and white lidded vases with serpentine handles, from circa 1800, are such an example. Early Savona offerings were painted cobalt blue on a white background, as seen on these vases. Because the scenes depicted on the main bodies are distinct, they are considered a near pair, although their dimensions do not vary. Both illustrations contain country houses surrounded by tall trees and fronted by vegetation emerging from rocky terrain. In each scene, people can be seen in front of the houses, with one having two citizens and the other having four. One of the renderings is bordered by roundels at the top and by a leafy vine at the bottom; the other vase does not have any surrounding motifs. The sides opposite the pastoral images are distinct as well: the one with the borders has curled vines surrounding the Savona Lighthouse (a production mark of studios from this region), while the other vase has the lighthouse above a pair of small foliate margents. Both vases have domed, removable lids with a conical finial emerging from a painted sunburst. Curled leaves have been painted along the circumference above a solid blue ring. The two curvaceous handles are each comprised of a pair of snakes bound with a ribbon. Our blue and white lidded Savona vases...
