ANTIQUE #SA1194848

Large Italian Maiolica Istoriato Charger, Pesaro School, Classical Historical Scene, C. 1890–1915

£600    $806    €692
Impressive Italian polychrome maiolica charger in tin-glazed earthenware, decorated with the heroic scene of Horatius Cocles defending the bridge. The subject belongs to the Renaissance istoriato tradition formed in Urbino, the historical source of narrative ceramics featuring monumental battle and classical historical imagery.

The style is closely associated with Pesaro workshops including Ceramica Molaroni and related manufactories.
 
The reverse bears a presentation label dated 1955 documenting later ownership and confirming its status as a valued decorative object.
