Antique Victorian Ceramic Majolica Blue and Gold Sun Planter Jardinière
------------------------SOLD -------------------- HOME
Superb quality item from the Victoria Era, a blue and gold gloss ceramic planter or jardinere, quite a rare find. The bottom is stamped with blue - E. Typical of the Majolica style included the coloured glazes (paint, fire) majolica, 'thick' painted coloured lead glazes on relief molded surfaces making maximum use of the intaglio effect—a beautiful Naturalistic style.
The way the sun is formed with a man's face in the center would be typical of the Victorian era.
A fantastic statement piece for your home decor, entrance hall, dining room, or even wedding decor. One could use a florist block to mount flower arrangments. Excellent investment.
Condition: Good antique condition with wear commensurate with age and use. There is a fine **crack in the planter which can be seen in the photos - I believe it does not detract from its beauty but this comes with age and use. Condition is reflected in the price.

Footnote :
Antique or vintage items have been used and as most antique dealers would say "PRE-LOVED", they will show signs of wear which is commensurate with age. Now this will appeal to some as it authenticates its age.
To the best of my ability, I will always try to list all faults found with each object, and photos form part of the illustrative narrative.
All vintage used items are sold "as is". Please ask questions before you make your purchase, I am always happy to answer and send additional photos if required.
