About the Item

A decorative ceramic jardiniere crafted in the Victorian period (circa mid-to-late 1800s), made in the majolica tradition, characterized by its rich, glossy, lead-glazed surface and vibrant coloration. The vessel features a serpentine form, with gently flowing curves that create a dynamic, sculptural silhouette when viewed from any angle. The colorful body is embellished with scrolling foliage and classical decoration, The interior is glazed to hold soil and moisture for plants, reflecting its original function as a decorative planter. Supporting the jardiniere are bun feet—rounded, cushion-like feet placed at the base—providing stability while lifting the piece slightly from the surface. These feet add a sense of solidity and elegance, and are commonly glazed to match or complement the body. Overall, the piece combines ornamental richness with functional design, exemplifying the Victorian fascination with organic forms, color, and craftsmanship, and would have been intended as a striking centerpiece for a conservatory, kitchen, mantel, or parlor.
