Maiolica flower pot “a mezzaluna” with support feet

Pasquale Rubati Factory
Milan, circa 1770
5.5 in X 5 in X 8.6 in
14 cm x 12.7 cm x 22 cm
lb 1.76 (kg 0.8)
State of conservation: intact with slight chipping due to use in relief parts
A rare example of a flower pot “a mezzaluna” produced by the manufactory of the refined painter Pasquale Rubati, who opened a factory in Milan in 1756 to compete with Felice Clerici.
The flower pot with a complex, as well as original and practical, shape was used to hold flowers while creating an orderly arrangement. As it could also be leant against the wall, its use went beyond simple table centerpieces, but rather it could also be placed in functional and decorative locations.
The Majolica is decorated with a rocaille relief to adorn the edges. The upper part is perforated in a radial pattern to contain and support the flowers. The mold, indicated in the original inventories as “fioriere a mezzaluna”, was notedly used by the Milanese manufactories of the eighteenth century, as demonstrated by some of the specimens preserved in the Museum of Applied Arts of the Sforzesco Castle in Milan. In this version it rests on three small feet. For comparisons see R. Ausenda (edited by), Musei e Gallerie di Milano. Museo d’Arti Applicate. Le ceramiche. Tomo secondo, Milan 2001, pp. 230-231, n. 261. The slightly more complex pot shape.
The polychrome decoration shows a raised edge with a shape of an elongated "C" painted in blue, yellow and purple. This is repeated along the upper side to match with the rocaille motifs painted in emerald green with touches of yellow and purple brushstrokes. The decoration also includes all the parts in relief, especially the little supporting feet.
In the center of the flower pot there are two bouquets of flowers which occupy the main part of the semicircle and which are accompanied by small bunches of rosebuds and minor florets rendered in full polychrome. The floral bouquets, in which the orange colors of the iron Stand out, are distinguished from the usual compositions as they resemble, in terms of decorative taste, the products of contemporary European porcelain manufactories.
Maiolica and porcelain production in the eighteenth century belonged mainly to the great royal families or in any case to the noble families who made the manufacture of ceramic works a source of prestige. In Milan, under Maria Teresa of Austria, the time period witnessed a real opening to new industrialists who, by Virtue of the privatizations granted by the government, assumed a real business risk, giving life, albeit not without conflict, to flourishing factories and to production which was among the most elegant and most requested at the moment and which still today remains object of collection.
