Description from the seller

A fascinating pair of majolica vases with an eclectic taste, characterized by a sinuous and elegant line. These objects stand out for the prominent sculptural decoration of the handles, shaped like entwined serpents, an iconographic motif that recalls the Italian Neo-Renaissance ceramic tradition. The bodies of the vases, visibly embellished, are adorned with paintings depicting Arcadian and landscape scenes of classical inspiration, ranging from human figures to scenes with ancient architectures. The skilful combination of polychromy and relief details gives the pieces a strong decorative value.
