Lotus Majolica Green W Floral Pitcher 8.5"

In England in the 1840s brilliantly transparent, multi-colored glazes were applied to relief modeled earthenware pieces to create a marvelous variety of charming and original effects called Majolica. This is a style also known in Italy and Spain. Mottahedeh's lotus pitcher is a fine example and is an exact hand-painted, reproduction ofan antique English original. A favorite with brides, Mottahedeh specializes in luxurious patterns and unique, elegant shapes that are reproduced from china found in museums and historical societies. The patterns feature complex and vibrant colors, and hand-painted gold decoration. The pieces are surprisingly fresh and timely, and look wonderful in both contemporary and traditional dining rooms.
