About the Item

Greek Classic enameled terracotta vase by Ceramiche di Este, circa 1780-1820 attributtable ex Manifattura Franchini About Ceramica di Este The porcelain of Este is a porcelain produced between 1765 and the late 18th century in some factories of the city of Este. The production of porcelain in Este was implanted by artisans from the Nove manufactory. In 1765 Giovanni Battista Brunello began to produce soft-paste porcelain in his Majolica manufacture at the Ponte della Girometta, using workers who had illegally transferred from the Nove factory. And therefore he suffered a trial. He died in 1778. In 1778 the goldsmith and sculptor Gerolamo Franchini founded a porcelain factory in Borgo Schiavin and took as his partner the French modeler Jean-Pierre Varillon (Italianised in Giovanni Pietro Varion). The manufacture excelled in the modeled Rococo style , in which he made figurines and centerpiece groups. In 1780 or 1781 Varion died and after a few years Franchini stopped producing porcelain, but the manufacture continued as a ceramic and Majolica factory Measures cm: H27 Diam. 15.

Large Glazed Greek Terracotta Vase
Located in Wormelow, Herefordshire
An impressive large Greek style vase, intricately crafted in terracotta and applied with a vibrant treacle glaze. Shaped like a trophy, this mid 19th century urn shares similarities with the marble vase attributed to prominent 2nd century Greek sculptor Sosibios in terms of shape and style, detailed with unique handles shaped like a swans neck. Unlike the Sosibios vase, the heart of this terracotta vase is largely plain showcasing the beautiful tone variation and lustre of the glaze. To the top, the vase is more intricate, detailed with a section of leaves and berries and stands on a socle carved with leaves to match the lower portion of the vase’s body. Thanks to its large scale and beautiful colour, this Greek style terracotta vase makes a striking statement piece placed on a pedestal or at the centre of a large sideboard...
