Large Pair of 19th Century Allegorical Italian Faience Hanging Wall Charger

About the Item

A pair of fine Italian faience chargers with allegorical hand painted cartouches. The rich and vibrant cobalt blue and yellow borders are leafy scrolls with masks and garland. These chargers are attributed to Cantagalli. Italy, 1870-80 In 1878 Ulisse Cantagalli and his brother, Romeo, inherited the family ceramics factory near Florence. The shop produced copies of Middle Eastern and Italian tin-glazed wares and in time added earthenware vases with stylized animal and plant forms. Ulisse was famed for his ruby and golden luster techniques. In the 1880s, with encouragement from Mary Todd, his Scottish fiance´, he began exploring the principles of the British Arts and Crafts Movement, particularly in the revival of pre-Industrial handcraft traditions.
