Pair of two Faenza ceramic vases, hand‑painted with stylized foliage, made as pendants with distinct colour schemes (cobalt blue and ochre yellow), each 17 cm wide, 31 cm high and 17 cm deep, dating to the 1960s Italian craftsmanship and in very good condition with minor signs of wear and age.
Description from the seller
Pair of elegant decorated ceramic vases, made as pendants but with distinct chromatic personalities: one in deep tones of cobalt blue, the other in warm shades of ochre yellow. The slender shapes, with globular bodies and high flared necks, evoke the Italian decorative tradition inspired by Renaissance and Baroque tastes, reinterpreted with balance and great refinement.
The decoration is richly hand-painted with stylized foliage motifs, swirls, and rhythmic fills, skillfully distributed to complement the volume of the vases. The contrast between the colored background and the ivory white of the decorations creates a luminous and harmonious effect, capable of capturing the eye without appearing excessive. The upper edge, finished with a fine painted dentellation, adds an additional touch of refinement.
These vases evoke cultured and timeless environments: imagined on a sideboard, a console, or a bookshelf, they blend perfectly with both classic interiors and more eclectic spaces, bringing color, rhythm, and a sense of authentic craftsmanship. Beautiful when displayed together as a pair, but also capable of enhancing their surroundings when used individually.
Decorative objects with a strong aesthetic impact, expressing a ceramic tradition attentive to design and painting quality.
Careful and professional packaging. Traceable shipping across Europe.
