AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Pair of Maiolica Art Boxes/Jars - Gialletti V.G. Deruta - Renaissance Style - Italy - 1960–1970
A refined and elegant matching pair of lidded boxes/jars in artistic maiolica, entirely handmade and hand-painted by the renowned Gialletti V.G. manufactory in Deruta (Umbria), one of the world's most famous and celebrated centers of ceramic production.
The set consists of two pieces of great decorative value, inspired by the glorious stylistic tradition of the Italian Renaissance:
The large lidded jar, 20 CM HIGH - 14 CM WIDE, has a slender globular shape with small raised handles on the shoulder. The front features a superb medallion with the profile portrait of a young Renaissance nobleman, finished in shades of blue and turquoise against a finely incised geometric background. The back and lid are adorned with rich acanthus leaf scrolls.
The low lidded box/snuffbox, 6 CM HIGH - 11 CM WIDE, matches the decoration and features a male portrait on the lid that mirrors the one on the larger jar. The inside of the container is enhanced by a bright green monochrome glaze.
Both pieces feature a splendid intentional exterior “craquelé” (crazing) finish, patinated to give them an antique look and highlight the ceramic texture. Generous gold and luster details enrich the geometric patterns and outlines, giving the pieces extraordinary shine.
Excellent vintage condition. No restoration, chips, or visible hairline cracks. The crazed surface finish and patina variations are inherent characteristics of the artistic process used to make the piece. Please examine the photo gallery carefully, as it forms an integral part of the description.
The lot will be shipped in professionally reinforced packaging to ensure the ceramic remains intact during transit.
