AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Large Oval Flour Container in Majolica - Artistic Ceramics of Montelupo Fiorentino - 3.5 kg
Splendid and imposing oval flour container with lid, fully handmade in fine glazed majolica by the historic "Ceramiche Artistiche" of Montelupo Fiorentino (Tuscany), a renowned ceramic production center since the Renaissance.
The piece is distinguished by a rich, detailed multicolor decoration executed by hand in a compendiary style: at the center stands an elegant cartouche with the word "Farina", topped by a fruit basket and framed by acanthus leaves and plum shoots. The painted details and the vivid colors testify to the high quality of Tuscan craftsmanship from the late 20th century.
Equipped with integrated side handles and a large lid with a molded grip. The original label from the manufacturer is still perfectly preserved on the side of the object.
The object presents in excellent overall aesthetic condition, with colors and glaze very vibrant. It shows a small chip on the inner lip of the upper edge (visible in the detail photos); it is specified that this chip remains completely hidden from view when the lid is in place and is not at all visible from the outside, preserving the visual impact and decorative nature of the piece. Small and normal imperfections are due to the hand-made artisanal fabrication performed entirely by hand.
Seller's Story
For over 20 years, I have dedicated myself passionately to the search for and trading of special, rare, curious objects from any era.
Every piece I select has something that catches my attention: it can be the shape, the story, the unusual aspect, or simply that detail that makes it unique.
I am always searching for objects that speak, that tell something to those who know how to listen.
I choose them carefully, photograph them honestly, and describe them as accurately as possible.
Selling on this Catawiki to share this passion with those who, like me, love to surround themselves with things with a soul.
