This petit decorative flower holder has a large handle and painted by hand in Italian Majolica, painted by hand in traditional patterns.

The Italian Majolica dates back to the Renaissance period. In 1530, the artisans began to design their pottery onto low raised foot with many different decorations (garlands, palmettes, arabesques). In addition to the lustrous design, they used the beautiful rich colors blue, burnt orange, red, yellow and green. After a long hiatus of this traditional work of art, the production restarted again in the 19th century with the goal to restore the Renaissance tradition in Central and Southern Italy.
