AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Elegant Thomas Ivory porcelain covered jar, Germany, with its original lid topped by a refined gilded finial. The body, with its characteristic baluster shape, has a surface defined by subtle vertical fluting, echoed on the domed lid.
The polychrome decoration, in an Orientalist style and inspired by the Imari tradition, unfolds against an ivory ground in a rich composition of floral motifs, branches, and small birds. The front features an elegant, brightly feathered bird perched on a flowering branch, surrounded by dense botanical ornamentation. Gilded details further enhance the composition, accenting the lid’s rim, the neck, and the finial.
A striking decorative object in which the tradition of German porcelain meets Orientalist taste, with rich, intricate decoration and a pleasing harmony of colors.
The covered jar exemplifies one of the most decorative expressions of Thomas production, from the historic Bavarian porcelain brand that became part of the Rosenthal Group in the early twentieth century.
Dimensions: 27 x 14 cm
In perfect condition.
Seller's Story
My name is Riccardo. I recently graduated in Art History from the University of Florence and I am passionate about porcelain. From tableware to artistic vases, from figurines to tea and coffee sets, I am fascinated by the mastery and creativity of great artisans and designers who manage to shape this fragile material, transforming a rough mass into masterpieces with a story to tell. During my years at university I began to become interested in the history of nineteenth- and twentieth-century tableware; today, every day, I deal with prestigious porcelain pieces that always have something to say to me and to those who purchase them. I love that every day I can discover more about the objects I find while traveling around Italy, always learning something new. I always try to convey to my clients this passion I have for the objects I sell, certain that each of them has a story to tell: that of the creator, that of the one who preserved it, and that of the person who will give it a new life.
