Double handled vase - maiolica (tin-glazed pottery)

An elegant two-toned tin-glazed vase from Gualdo Tadino, Italy, dating to the 20th century (presumably between the 1930s and 1950s). The vase is distinguished by the characteristic metallic lustre technique (with gold- and copper-toned reflections) on a cobalt-blue background and by the rich Renaissance-inspired decorative motifs.
A typical product of the ceramic tradition of Gualdo Tadino (attributable to historic workshops such as Rubboli or Luca della Robbia).
