"Italian Maiolica Two-handled Jar (orcio)"
Elegant Italian maiolica jar featuring a rich blue-on-white decoration. The globular body is adorned with a sophisticated "raffaellesco" pattern of swirling arabesques, stylized leaves, palmettes, and intertwining floral motifs in deep cobalt blue. The two zoomorphic handles, masterfully shaped as stylized dragons with pearl-like details and volutes in relief, lend the piece a majestic and protective appearance, characteristic of traditional Umbrian ceramics (Deruta or similar production areas). The rim and base are accented with bold blue bands; the interior is glazed in a creamy tone. A striking decorative statement piece, ideal for classical living rooms, entrances, or Mediterranean/Provencal-style interiors.
