MAJOLICA JARDINIÈRE IN THE FORM OF A BOAT WITH GRIFFINS

MAJOLICA JARDINIÈRE IN THE FORM OF A BOAT WITH GRIFFINS

A majolica jardinière in the form of a decorative boat, executed in an expressive Historicist manner with elements of Neo-Renaissance and Neo-Baroque design. The composition is conceived as a fantastical vessel with raised sides, crowned by sculptural figures of attacking griffins. Their elongated necks and open jaws lend the piece a sense of dynamism and theatricality characteristic of decorative arts at the turn of the century.The body is embellished with relief cartouches featuring ornamental and zoomorphic decoration in brown, cream and turquoise-blue tones. The sculptural modelling is accentuated by the contrast between the glossy glaze and the richly toned lilac-pink interior bowl. The piece is set upon a substantial metal base with bronze finish of complex profile, covered in a noble patina that enhances the monumentality of the composition and ensures visual stability.The combination of majolica and metal reflects a distinctive late 19th-century European tendency toward the synthesis of materials and decorative techniques. The jardinière would have served as a refined interior accent in a winter garden, salon or formal reception room.Marks: Not found.Dimensions: Height: 29 cm; Width: 37 cm; Depth: 15 cm.Condition: Good. Gilding even. Minor wear to the base. No deformations, cracks, restorations or signs of active use.
