About the Item

Blue and white ceramic wall shelf, made in Italian in the early 20th century Ø cm 15 Ø cm 13 h cm 20 Antique ceramic shelves are fascinating objects that combine functionality with the aesthetics of the past. They represent a piece of furniture and craft history, and can add a touch of elegance and authenticity to any room. They were often made of faience or porcelain, materials that contain detailed decorations and bright colors. Handcrafted techniques such as hand painting, carving, and enameling lend uniqueness to each piece. From Baroque to Art Nouveau to Neoclassical, antique shelves reflect the artistic styles of different eras. Floral motifs, landscapes, mythological figures and scenes of daily life are common in decorations. Important production centers include Italy (Castelli, Faenza, Naples), France (Limoges), Germany (Meissen) and Spain (Valencia).
