Item description:Spectacular vase in high-fired vitrified majolica, entirely hand-decorated with a vaguely quadrangular amphora shape. Each of the four sides features different rural landscapes, classic of Castelli ceramics, with countryside, trees full of foliage, farmhouses and characters. Made in the classic colours of the Castelli factory, with light and very bright colours. The four frescoes are set into the four sides of the vase with the edges of the vase instead, in relief with respect to the landscape. Both in the final part of the landscapes and on the base, the faces of fauns with garlands of flowers and foliage are depicted. The lid is also entirely hand-decorated with minute decorations and a small circular landscape expertly created with the tip of a brush by the decorator. While the four panels immediately above the four main sides are entirely decorated with garlands of leaves and flowers except one in which two winged cherubs are depicted on the sides of a heraldic shield. Object datable between the end of 1700 and the very first decades of the 19th century and the wonderful patina that covers it, especially under the base and on the break on the mouth where the ceramic is very dark, confirms our dating. There is no mark under the base. Made in full Neo-Renaissance style and attributable to the Abruzzo manufacture of Castelli, specifically to the Fuina family operating in Castelli towards the end of 1700 until 1822.Useful information for the evaluation of the object: We have placed, immediately under this description, a Castelli vase from the end of 1700, without a lid and estimated 1200-1800 of size and style in the decorations very similar to ours. Another vase always with decorations and colors similar to our vase, quoted 1000-1500, also without a lid, finally a pair of vases, provided with a lid like ours, also these very similar in the style of the decorations for which a good € 12,000 is requested, even if it must be said that the pair is large. All this to give an idea of the value of Castelli ceramics and in particular of vases with a decoration similar to ours. Consider that our vase in addition to being provided with a lid has much more complex and well-made decorations than the vases shown in the photo in addition to having a much more particular shape, with bas-relief parts entirely modeled and made by hand. Rare, ancient and collectible object.Information on artist and/or manufacturer:The ceramic art of Castelli, in Abruzzo, has very ancient origins, but became famous in the sixteenth century. The Grue family was the one that stood out most among the workshops, becoming a master and model to follow, with Carlo Antonio Grue who was the most valid representative, together with his son Aurelio Anselmo. Initially, only five colors were used in the decorations, with all the various shades, with the absence of red, which was introduced at the end of the eighteenth century by Gesualdo Fuina of Loreto Aprutino. His son Carlo Antonio Grue adopted the third-fired gold highlights of his father Francesco, and integrated the landscape background, obtained by studying natural light for the chiaroscuro shades. It was the good workmanship of the majolica, the lively decorations, but also the affordability of the products, due to innovative production systems, that made Castelli one of the most appreciated centers in artistic ceramics, especially in the seventeenth century and still operating today. Many of the oldest majolica works made by the factory are preserved in various Italian museums. In the last photo we have put additional information on the Fuina family, to whom we can attribute the paternity of this vase, for those who want to learn more.

In fact, the asking price is always as low as possible, considering how much the item was paid for and the eBay commissions (for the sale, payment and any currency exchange: from a minimum of 15% to a maximum of 21% , according to the country in which the advertisement was made). For each object there may be multiple advertisements in different countries: USA, Italy, France, United Kingdom, etc. Any price differences are due only to changes in the exchange rate of the various currencies between when we made the advertisement and when you see it.

SHIPPING WORLDWIDE – RETURN ALWAYS ACCEPTEDThe cost of packaging is also calculated in the shipping cost, and everything has increased by 19% because both ebay and paypal also take fees on the shipping cost. OUR SHIPMENTS:.Our shipments cost a little more than the average, but they are all shipments with professional packaging. Double box with a lot of bubble wrap around the object and a lot of soft material in the large cavities on all sides between the two boxes. This means that the package is much larger and heavier and therefore the cost of shipping increases, not to mention all the work necessary to carry out a similar packaging and the cost of the various materials used.
