AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Vintage Maiolica Vase – Antique Savona / Ligurian Style
For sale, a refined artistic ceramic maiolica vase, entirely hand-decorated in cobalt blue monochrome on a milky white background, evoking the great Ligurian ceramic tradition of the eighteenth century.
Key Features and Design
• Central Decoration: The vase body hosts a splendid, detailed pastoral scene painted by hand. On one side is a female figure (fisherwoman or peasant) with baskets, while the opposite side presents a evocative rural landscape with houses, trees and bucolic waterscapes.
• Craftsmanship and Details: Object of excellent artisanal craftsmanship. The form is dynamic and enhanced by two stylized handles and distinctive raised “buttons” on the shoulder of the vase. The upper band and the base are finished with geometric motifs and geometric leaves that perfectly frame the scene.
• Era: Mid-20th century (bearing the hand-painted “ITALY” mark on the base, typical of Italian production destined for export or the art market of the time).
Dimensions
• Height: 27 cm
• Maximum diameter: 15 cm
Conditions
The piece is in overall good vintage condition, solid and visually striking. It shows some minor signs of aging that attest to its authenticity, including slight chipping on the upper edge and on the base (clearly visible in the attached photos), which do not compromise its aesthetics and charm.
A timeless, elegant piece of furniture, perfect for collectors or to add a touch of classicism and refinement to any space.
