Italian Turn of the Century Blue and White Faience Lidded Jars with Fauns, Pair

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".
