Mid-Century Italian Maiolica Vase – Hand-Painted “Milano” Mark, c.1950

This striking blue-and-white ceramic vessel is a mid-century homage to the grand Lombard maiolica of the late 17th century. Hand-thrown and tin-glazed, the bulbous form is richly decorated with scrolling cobalt florals and a lattice-patterned collar. Graceful double handles with coiled accents add sculptural dimension, while the underside bears a hand-painted “Milano” signature.
