About the Item

Majestic amphora in glazed majolica, handmade and hand painted in central Italy. On the amphora are represented, in great detail, the four seasons personified by graceful women surrounded by floral elements, all the decoration is in Art Nouveau style and is a reinterpretation of the painting "The Times of the Day" (1899) by the painter Alphonse Mucha. The vase consists of three assembled parts: base, body and neck. The vase has a diameter of 68 cm (26,77 in.) and a height of 187 cm (73,62 in.). A truly exclusive piece of rare beauty. One of a kind piece. The rarity of majolica artworks of this size lies in the technical difficulty of managing the entire creation process given the large size, both for the making of the terracotta artifact and the subsequent decorating phase. During the first firing of the clay biscuit the risk of breakage is very high and also during the second firing of the color majolica hides many pitfalls, this explains the rarity of artworks of this size, the difficulty of the decorations and consequently their value.
