Large maiolica vase from Gualdo Tadino – grotesque decoration – Italy, early 20th century (h. 28 cm)

Elegant artistic maiolica vase from Gualdo Tadino (Umbria), a renowned Italian ceramic center active especially in the production of decorative maiolicas during the 20th century.

The piece features a refined polychrome grotesque decoration inspired by the Renaissance, with rich and detailed ornamental motifs, including volutes, plant motifs and a stylized central vase. The color palette, dominated by blue, red, orange and ochre, is typical of the Umbrian tradition.

The form is classic, with a globular body on a tall foot and small decorative side handles. The entire object is hand-painted, as evidenced by the slight painterly variations and by the signature under the base bearing “Gualdo”.

Italian artisanal production of the second half of the 20th century, representative of the Gualdo Tadino ceramic tradition, which reinterprets Renaissance models in a decorative key.
