About the Item

Decorate a shelf, console, or sideboard with this colorful antique Majolica centerpiece. Crafted in France circa 1920, the sculptural composition features two playful children, a young boy seated atop a woven cornucopia and a girl standing beside him, both engaged in a charming floral gathering scene. The sculpted vessel is adorned with applied flowers and foliage in high relief, hand-painted in a cheerful palette of yellow, green, blue, and rose tones. The interior of the horn-shaped vase is richly glazed in warm honey hues, creating a delightful contrast with the bright attire of the figures. A fine example of early 20th-century French barbotine craftsmanship, this whimsical decorative piece captures the innocence and vitality of childhood. The ceramic centerpiece is in excellent condition commensurate with age and use, boasting vivid colors and a glossy patinated finish. Measures: 11" W x 8" D x 11.5" H.
