AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Important Faentine ceramic amphora with two handles, slender and harmoniously rounded, characterized by a rich and lively multicolor decoration painted by hand.
The body, made of white glazed ceramic, is decorated according to the refined ornamental language of the Faenza ceramic tradition, with a composition dominated by a large central floral motif, in shades of orange, turquoise, yellow and blue. Around the main motif, elegant scrolls, curls, and phyllomorphic motifs are painted in blue, enriched by small touches of orange and by geometric elements.
Particularly interesting is the decoration of the upper part, where the neck is adorned with an elaborate ornamental motif and the shoulder features a geometric band in blue and orange. A second decorative band, more elaborate, runs along the lower part of the body, creating a pleasant visual link with the central floral motif.
The amphora is equipped with two large lateral handles, shaped in an elegant, sinuous form. The circular foot is outlined by thin moldings in blue and orange.
On the reverse side there is the inscription "Maestri maiolicari faentini".
High-quality production of the 20th century.
Seller's Story
My name is Riccardo. I recently graduated in Art History from the University of Florence and I am passionate about porcelain. From tableware to artistic vases, from figurines to tea and coffee sets, I am fascinated by the mastery and creativity of great artisans and designers who manage to shape this fragile material, transforming a rough mass into masterpieces with a story to tell. During my years at university I began to become interested in the history of nineteenth- and twentieth-century tableware; today, every day, I deal with prestigious porcelain pieces that always have something to say to me and to those who purchase them. I love that every day I can discover more about the objects I find while traveling around Italy, always learning something new. I always try to convey to my clients this passion I have for the objects I sell, certain that each of them has a story to tell: that of the creator, that of the one who preserved it, and that of the person who will give it a new life.
