AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Large Neoclassical-Style Blue and White Ceramic Lidded Vase – Italy, Mid-20th Century (H: 40 cm)
Magnificent, imposing lidded vase (or potpourri jar) with a baluster form and a raised foot, made of white and blue glazed earthenware/ceramic.
The piece features a rich Baroque and Neoclassical decoration in high relief, depicting putti (cherubs) in a bucolic setting, along with openwork trellis motifs. The side handles are finely stylized and sculpted.
A removable lid topped with an ornamental finial completes the piece.
• Style: Neoclassical / Neo-Baroque (inspired by the maiolica of Bassano / Nove / Nevers)
• Period: Mid-20th century (circa 1950–1970)
• Origin: Italy (unsigned on the base, typical export production)
• Colors: Cobalt blue and glazed white
• Dimensions: Total height: 40 cm | Maximum width (at the handles): approx. 28 cm
Condition: Very good overall condition.
A break is present on the upper inner rim of the body (beneath the lid; see detailed photos). The original piece has been kept intact inside the vase and will be included with the item, allowing the future buyer to glue it back neatly and easily.
Once the lid is in place, this flaw is almost invisible from the outside. No other major cracks or losses to report.
Shipping:
Professionally packed with ultra-secure double protection (bubble wrap and suitable cushioning) to ensure safe transit. Fast shipping with tracking number.
