White Porcelain Biscuit Italian Centerpiece 20th Century Mythological Sculptural Group

Centerpiece In Porcelain Biscuit from the 20th century, this biscuit porcelain triumph dates from the first half of the 1900s. Biscuit porcelain is a special processing technique that gives the surface a matte, satiny appearance. This centerpiece depicts Mercury delivering Bacchus to the Nymphs, three female figures in the presence of a goat, a mythological scene typical of the style of the period. Mercury, the messenger of the gods, was charged with delivering his son Bacchus to the Nymphs, gods of forests and waters. Bacchus was a young god of wine and ecstasy, and the Nymphs would care for him and teach the secrets of nature and creativity. The moment of delivery is solemn and joyous: Mercury lays the newborn Bacchus in the loving arms of the Nymphs, who greet the baby with smiles and caresses. The nymphs will care for him as if he were their own child, teaching him the secrets of nature and magic. Bacchus will grow up under the protection of the Nymphs, learning from them the wisdom and beauty of nature. And thanks to this precious gift from Mercury, the young god of wine and ecstasy will become one of the most beloved and venerable deities on Olympus. It is a delicate and refined item, perfect for embellishing your table and creating an elegant atmosphere. The large-sized, oval-shaped group is in perfect condition except for the absence of a small flower petal on the base. It comes from an Italian manufacture and reused in the first half of the twentieth century.
