Description

A 19th century Italian majolica vase stamped SCA Pesaro molaroni. The vase is decorated with serpant handles and classical mythical renaissance designs across the body of the vase, some standing out in particular with a bird like bodies and a human head, probably a depiction of the monster of Ravenna or harpy, interpreted symbolically by opponents of both the catholic and protestant reformation.

The vase does have some damage to the foot of the vase but overall the body and the handles remain in excellent condition.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Majolica, also spelled maiolica, refers to tin-glazed earthenware pottery originating in Italy, distinguished by its opaque white background decorated with vibrant hand-painted oxide colours.

Pieces were wheel-thrown or cast in earthenware clay, dipped in an opaque lead-tin glaze, hand-painted with metallic oxides before firing, and then kiln-fired to fuse the glazes permanently.

Authentic 19th-century revival pieces display detailed classical iconography, such as grotesques and coats of arms, along with characteristic light crazing, minor glaze flaking on edges, and unglazed foot rims.

Display the urn as a standalone sculptural object on a console table, sideboard, or mantelpiece to introduce colour, historical pattern, and visual interest into modern or eclectic spaces.

Dust gently using a dry, soft brush or microfibre cloth, avoiding immersion in water or chemical cleansers that could penetrate cracks or glaze imperfections.
