Outstanding Large Cobalt Jardiniere, Gilt Trim

Pottery

 

Gorgeous large jardiniere with gold or gilt trim. Beautiful raised banded criss-cross pattern with raised gilt decorated scrolls and flourishes nears the base and 4 tiny feet. It has a majolica type glaze, and though it is old, it is also unmarked and we've been unable to identify the maker. The pot measures 8" tall and 10" in diameter, with a top opening of 8". It is in excellent condition with crazing on the interior bottom, age wear on the underside, and one shallow graze on the underside as pictured (at 11 o'clock in the photo of the base). It weighs 5 lbs. Cobalt is very difficult to photograph--this piece is a very dark blue but appears somewhat lighter in our photos.
