About the Item

Bursting with charm and Mediterranean flair, this vintage Italian ceramic lemon pitcher was handcrafted by Paradox, a ceramics studio known for playful, high-quality majolica pottery. Made in Italy, this sculptural piece captures the joyful essence of the Amalfi Coast with its vibrant yellow glaze, lush green leaf handle, and lifelike lemon texture. The bottom is marked: "Made in Italy for Paradox"—a hallmark of Italian craftsmanship from the mid to late 20th century, when decorative ceramics celebrating regional produce were immensely popular among both locals and export markets. Pieces like this were often found in the kitchens and garden rooms of chic villas and seaside homes. Perfect for both display and practical use, this ceramic pitcher is food-safe and ready to serve up anything from lemon water to sangria at your next summer soirée. Styling Ideas: Use as a statement vase for wildflowers, citrus branches, or eucalyptus on your kitchen island or dining table. Pair with other fruit-themed majolica for a whimsical tablescape or open-shelf vignette. Style in a garden room or butler’s pantry as a nod to Italian coastal entertaining. Makes an unforgettable gift for hosts, designers, or collectors of Italian ceramics. Dimensions: 7.5 Tall 7' wide 4.5" Deep 1.7 lbs Condition: Excellent vintage condition with no chips or cracks. Light wear to the base is consistent with age.
