Antique Hand Painted Vase with Twisted Handles
A rare antique hand painted vase that is elegantly refined in its simplicity. Originating from Novoli, a small town near Lecce, and dating back to the early 1800s, this hand thrown ceramic piece would have taken pride of place in a noble family’s palazzo. What sets the vase apart is the attention to detail - from the intertwined handles, the elegant form and elevated pedestal to the hand painted adornment that elegantly encircles the vase, highlighting the skill of the artist/potter. The hand decorated motif, resembling classical music notes, in an inky blue is set against a milky glaze, adding to its refined simplicity. Today, this truly one of a kind piece would be ideal as a vase for fresh flowers or as a decorative display piece that would work effortlessly in any home or space.
Found in Lecce
the baroque jewel and capital of the Salento.
Dimensions: H18.5cm x W22cm x D18cm
These are handmade antique ceramics that are perfectly imperfect and some have been used for generations, so please expect some cracks, and chips, and discolouration. These individual characteristics are part of the charm and unique quality of each piece. Please note, colour may vary from screen to screen.
