A truly prime example of Italian majolica work. It’s better decorated than 98.9% of other antique examples. It came out the estate of a prolific Italian pottery collector in Palm Beach, FL. See final screenshot for details on provenance.
The vase has been repaired at the top. There’s a hole drilled in the base so I assume it was converted into a lamp at one point. I would also assume that when the lamp conversion was removed that the top probably cracked a bit. That’s when the repair became necessary I imagine. It was well done and while you can see it on close examination, once you step away it becomes more or less unnoticeable. It’s still a helluva piece and displays very well. The collection it came out of was displayed in a celebrated mansion.
It stands just over 15” tall. It is quite thick and heavy pottery. Very substantial statement type piece. Ships ASAP! Thanks
