AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Important pair of decorative jugs with a gomil-type handle in majolica ceramic (glazed terracotta), Austrian production from the renowned Gerbing & Stephan workshop, circa 1880-1890. Bodies with chunky forms richly decorated in relief with revival motifs, central geometric medallions imitating polychrome enamel and ornamental bands. The tall handles display carved elements in the shape of volutes and chimeras. Textured finish in brown, ochre and blue tones, simulating the patina of ancient bronze. Both pieces rest on elaborately tripartite bases made of cast metal in a historicist style. At the base they bear the incised maker's mark "G&S", mold/model number "4260" and a secondary clover mark. Both are in very good condition; they were highly valued pieces.
Seller's Story
Antiques are my great passion; all the items I have on auction were found at antique fairs and antique shops mainly from the Lisbon area, but also from the rest of Portugal, a country with a centuries-old history and many fabulous pieces and objects from this long journey, which I present here for auction. Only pieces of good quality, distinctly original, and obviously beautiful. Guarantee of quality and great care in the shipping of the items. Thank you.
