AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Soup tureen with lid (terrine)
Hand-painted overglaze in polychrome.
Good condition.
Diffuse and minor chippings with loss of glaze along the lid’s rim and at the ends of the supporting feet, exposing the underlying terracotta.
Slight glaze firing defects (pinpricks and superficial cavitations).
No mark or signature on the base (a common practice for the vast majority of Cerreto production and Protogiustiniana of the 18th century).
Era: 18th century
Glazed terracotta fired at a high temperature
The body rests on four scroll feet (or stylized goat-hoof feet) molded in relief.
The lid, coherent and contemporaneous in form, features a distinctive full-rounded handle shaped like a fruit (pom/ citrus) with foliate detailing, a typical element of the 18th-century Campanian naturalistic exuberance.
Dimensions: 23 x 34 x 14
Provenance: noble Sicilian family
