This is a Majolica decorative urn with an Italian Renaissance revival design. The vase features a hand-painted central medallion depicting a noblewoman in profile, a motif common in Renaissance majolica. The surrounding decoration consists of rich cobalt blue, gold-accented scrollwork, and floral elements, inspired by the 16th-century Italian majolica tradition. The ornate, curling handles suggest a Baroque influence, adding to the piece’s grandeur.
The lustrous gold glaze on the handles and base indicates a highly decorative piece, possibly made in Deruta or Faenza, Italy, both famous for their maiolica pottery. If there are any maker’s marks or inscriptions on the bottom, it would help pinpoint the exact origin.
