Description from the seller
Vintage Gialletti Deruta (Italy) Pedestal Bowl in the Byzantine Mosaic Style
An exquisite and highly decorative vintage majolica pedestal bowl—suitable as a centerpiece or fruit dish—crafted by the renowned Italian workshop Gialletti Deruta. The piece features a distinctive Byzantine mosaic style, with skillful hand-painting that mimics the shimmering texture of authentic *smalto* (glass mosaic tiles). Its intricate pattern combines geometric borders and stylized floral motifs in rich hues: cobalt blue, emerald green, terracotta, and turquoise. The composition stands out against a luxurious gold background with a crackle finish that plays beautifully in the light. Unique twisted handles, adorned with a vibrant turquoise-and-blue mosaic pattern, elegantly frame the shallow bowl and add a striking touch. The bowl rests on a flared hollow base, featuring a decorative motif that echoes the rich mosaic ornamentation of the main body.
Material: Glazed Italian majolica (ceramic) with gilding. Origin: Deruta, Italy. Manufacturer: Gialletti Deruta. Period: Mid-to-late 20th century. Style: Neo-Byzantine.
