Majolica Bull Pitcher Country Style Italy White and Blue Retro Signed
About the Item
Unusual and playful majolica pitcher has its top part shaped in form of a bull's head with bull's mouth forming the spout. It is decorated with hand painted traditional Italian flower designs in blue and yellow and blue dots on bright white glaze.
The pitcher is signed and numbered on the bottom. We've seen pitchers in the same shape and with the same number, decorated in different flower decors or done in solid colors, described as imported to USA from Italy in 1950s-1960s; however, on this piece the importer sticker is missing. Stylistically, it is certainly a vintage piece of traditional Italian ceramic; it is quite rare.
The pitcher measures 10.5" high with 8" wide. . It is in good vintage condition with a few small glaze defects on the body and the bottom of the piece that are consistent with handmade nature of the piece, and a small glaze loss on top of one horn that can be found by touch.
