Vintage Italian Majolica Pedestal Vase

A vintage Italian majolica pedestal vase, hand-painted in the loose, expressive style Italian pottery is loved for. Over its warm cream tin glaze, the front carries a painterly floral bouquet — a blush-pink peony at the center, gathered with deep-violet pansies, a small blue flower, and sweeping green leaves, all tied at the stem.

The form does as much work as the painting. Pierced acanthus-leaf handles in mottled rust tones climb both sides like little wings, the wide rim flares into a deep scallop with a feathered rust edge, and the vase rises from a flared, scalloped pedestal foot — so it reads beautifully from every angle, with or without flowers in it. The underside is unglazed and carries a faint incised mark.

Lovely as a centerpiece vase on a dining table, or as a cachepot for a fern or orchid on a console, mantel, or kitchen counter.

Condition notes: Fine crazing lines are visible inside the rim, as photographed, and there is light wear on the unglazed base. No chips or cracks noted.
