Triptych (3) - Faenza style, famous carnation decoration. - 1940-1950 - Triptych in Maiolica

Here is a refined three-piece majolica set, finely decorated, a true tribute to one of the most prestigious and beloved Italian ceramic traditions among collectors.
​Historical Placement and Decoration:
The set features the famous "Garofano Decoration" (clove flower), a cornerstone of ceramic art born in Faenza around the second half of the eighteenth century, thanks to the insight of the renowned Ferniani Factory. At that time, to meet the demand for luxurious and extremely expensive oriental goods brought to Europe by the East India Company, Faenza masters reinterpreted the precious Japanese decors "Imari". The result was this unmistakable style: a delicate stylized flower (the carnation) in soft pastel tones, enclosed by vibrant cobalt blue borders and iron-red guilloche motifs. This set faithfully retraces the aesthetic codes of that golden age, reviving the elegance of eighteenth-century noble homes.
​The Lot Includes:
The pieces stand out for their ribbed, faceted shapes, typical of antique silverware:
A scenographic carafe (or pouring vessel) with a sinuous neck, complete with a pointed lid.
An imposing bulbous vase (urn or albarello style), also provided with its original lid.
A charming octagonal base box/storage case.
​Authenticity and Signs of Time:
The pieces are presented in excellent conservation conditions, with glossy glazes and colors that are extremely vivid. As sometimes happens with era pieces passed down through generations, the workshop mark or signature under the base has faded over time, probably due to natural wear or repeated washing over the decades. This absence leaves a fascinating aura of mystery about the specific kiln of origin, but the superb quality of the glaze, the distribution of colors, and the absolute fidelity of the painted details unequivocally point to Faenza’s high craftsmanship of the twentieth century.
