Details about  Unique LARGE Handsigned ITALY DERUTA CLAY POTTERY RAFFAELLESCO 3 Handled Vase

Magnificent Vintage Hand painted Large Vase

Signed UNDER GLAZE ITALY F./108.25

This Italian Pottery Raffaellesco Vase Measures 10.5" High and 7.5" at Widest Point

With the famous array of colors on these pieces any flower looks fabulous in this vase or it is gorgeous just on its own. Especially with it's large size. 3 Classic Brown Striped handles are in great condition no repairs but have some small flea bite chips out of a couple of handle edges. Pls see pictures I have taken them from all angles and any questions please do not hesitate to ask.

There are 2 chips out of the rim and a couple of flea bite chips on bottom base. I think the chips add to the piece and you can see the  brown clay underneath which shows how much work went into these unique Italian pieces. There is one hairline crack on body which I did not see by eye but found with UV light. Holds aprox.4.5 liters of water just fine.

There are many different scenes on this piece and alittle different from the usual dragon I see. There are two large dragons and smaller ones, 1 Large Fleur De Lis, 1 Large turtle? and lots of colorful flowers.

A truly unique and beautiful piece

Deruta, Faenza and Florence all have a special Raffaellesco interpretation
in their majolica tradition. The name comes from Raphael, one of the great
artists of the Italian Renaissance. The dragon represent a benevolent power
who helps discovery and protects from adversaries and it is one of the
grotesque motifs created by Raphael and his school when commissioned by the Pope to paint the Logge Vaticane
