About the Item

This pair of large and rare Majolica planters is a true collector’s treasure, showcasing exquisite craftsmanship and bold artistry. Each two-piece pedestal planter is sculpted in a dramatic figural form, featuring entwined swimming maidens that wind gracefully around the column base, evoking mythological and aquatic themes. The striking red and blue glaze creates a vivid contrast, with flowing drips and tones that highlight the sculptural details and organic texture of the design. The bases rise like flowing tree trunks or coral forms, supporting deep bowl-like tops ideal for use as planters, jardinieres, or decorative display stands. The highly tactile surface and vibrant colors make these pieces instantly eye-catching, ensuring they serve not only as functional vessels but also as sculptural art objects. Dating to the late 19th or early 20th century, these Majolica planters capture the romanticism and naturalistic spirit often associated with European Majolica ware. Their large scale and rare color palette make them highly desirable for serious collectors, designers, and decorators seeking a statement piece. Perfect for interiors, conservatories, or garden rooms, this majestic pair of Majolica planters embodies artistic grandeur and timeless appeal.
