About the Item
The interlacing band motifs on this Italian albarello jar are quite mesmerizing. Hand-painted in the 1800s, this majolica apothecary container has an arabesque of white bands, partially filled with orange lines. Offset by a royal blue ground, the bands’ weaving truly stands out, forming a beautiful surface to the roughly cylindrical jar. The neck and the foot are painted white, with a repeating lozenge key motif wrapped around the concave neck, set between two bands of blue.
Pharmacy jars were used as early as the 7th century, concurrently in the Middle East and China. Arab and Chinese traders would later introduce these vessels to Italy during the Renaissance, where they were given the name albarello (plural: albarelli). The motifs and forms were altered to suit the use of Italian pharmacies, where they would be used to hold ointments, herbs, and other remedies. Today, they have a variety of uses, ranging from beautiful decorative accessories to a kitchen utensil holder or vase for fresh cut flowers.

Antique 19th Century Italian Maiolica Pot of the Renaissance Style
Located in Dallas, TX
Vivid colors, hand-painted in the Renaissance style, enhance this large maiolica pot from the 1800’s. Maiolica is tin-glazed pottery from Italy that has been decorated over a white background. This pot is considered an istoriato, which is to say that the pot has been decorated with figures, rather than strictly geometric patterns or floral designs.
The maiolica does incorporate floral and foliate motifs, with white flowers that have yellow centers surrounded by blue rings. There are also yellow flowers that are depicted in various stages of nyctinasty (the closing of flowers during the night). The flora is all connected by a series of green and yellow curled leaves. Behind the vegetation is a dark blue background. There are two portraits inside large yellow cartouches that are painted in the middle of the pot. The first is a bearded man, dressed in a light brown tunic...
