Bidspirit auction | A Three-Piece Hand-Painted Italian Faience


A Three-Piece Hand-Painted Italian Faience Style Ceramic Garniture Set - This lot consists of a three-piece ceramic garniture set, crafted from tin-glazed earthenware in the Italian faience style. The set includes a central twin-handled urn-shaped vase, a tapering vase, and a matching tapering vase with a domed lid featuring a pointed finial. Each piece is decorated with hand-painted polychrome floral and foliate motifs in a palette of green, yellow, ochre, and burgundy over a cream ground. The central vase is characterised by a wide flared rim and scrolled handles finished in a green glaze. The smaller vases feature similar banding and floral sprays. While the style is indicative of 20th-century Italian workshops, no definitive maker's marks are visible to confirm a specific factory. There is some indistinct blue script to the interior rim of the large vase and several inventory labels including orange tags marked 119 and a white tag marked 20.
