Vintage Minton Renaissance Style Reproduction Cobalt Majolica Mermaid, Merman, & Putto Decorative Ewer Pitcher Vase
This lovely Minton REPRO, Renaissance style, mythological themed pitcher or vase, features a body glazed in colors of cobalt blue, green, and brown features in raised relief a mermaid and a merman holding a putti aloft above an escallop shell. It is further decorated with both naturalistic leaves and vines and stylistic leaves. Interior is glazed in a cream color glaze.
This is a reproduction piece. Since it is not an original, the glaze is not as crisp. It does have some of the normal inconsistencies typical of these type pieces. This includes some roughness to the glaze and some unevenness of the exterior glaze on the body. And the quality of workmanship is not what it would be on a genuine Minton. It is still a lovely piece that is affordable, as the original pieces are quite pricey and very hard to find.
It is in VERY GOOD CONDITION~ No nicks, chips, cracks, flea bites, or repairs. Mild crazing overall if you look closely.
Measures approx. 15 3/4" H x 8" across the widest x 6" across the base.
It measures 9 1/2" from back of handle to tip of spout.
Weighs 6 lbs. 10 oz. prior to packaging.

Thanks for Looking!
