Turquoise Maiolica Italian Albarello Late, 1800s

About the Item

This beautiful turquoise maiolica patterned Italian albarello (late 1800s early 1900s) was found in Palazzo Torlogna in Rome. Albarelli were ancient storage containers often used in old pharmacies and shops. Their unique shape was designed to fit with other albarelli on shelves. This maiolica alberello was likely made in the late 1800s but its distinctive pattern pre-dates this. It was perhaps made to fit in with maiolica albarelli made earlier, in the 15th or 16th century. It is in good condition considering age, it has some minor chips and markings as seen in photographs. An historical piece worthy of any collection of albarelli.
