This exquisite Italian ceramic vase represents the height of Neo-Renaissance craftsmanship from the renowned workshops of Gualdo Tadino. Featuring a brilliant luster glaze and intricate mythological styling, it is a quintessential piece for collectors of fine European pottery.
Origin: Hand-painted in Gualdo Tadino, Italy, by the prestigious L. Robbia workshop.
Style: Classical Renaissance-revival (Raphaelesque) featuring ornate acanthus scrolls and iconic serpent/dragon-form handles.
Finish: Exceptional use of iridescent gold and ruby lusters, a signature technique of the region that creates a shimmering, metallic effect over the vibrant green and deep teal palette.
Condition: Perfect condition—exceptionally rare for lusterware of this age. No chips, cracks, or significant wear to the delicate metallic glaze.
