Ewer 1515 - 1530

This 16th-century Italian majolica ewer, attributed to Maestro Giorgio Andreoli, is a masterful example of Renaissance ceramics. It features a rounded body, a tall foot, and a gracefully curved spout, all adorned with intricate decorations. The ewer is richly painted with a vibrant blue glaze, highlighted with gold and red accents. A central panel on the body depicts a female portrait, signifying the ewer's potential use for storing and serving wine or other beverages. The intricate floral motifs and heraldic symbols contribute to the ewer's decorative appeal and artistic merit, showcasing the skillful craftsmanship of the Renaissance period.
