Item Details
Description

A ceramic cream earthenware pitcher adorned with traditional geometric and leaf-like patterns in black and green on thinly glazed ivory, a design that that originated during the early Renaissance in the hilltop town of Orvieto; a technique and style that would inspire Majolica earthenware pottery.

Size: 6-3/4" (17.1 cm) x 5" (12.7 cm) at widest.
