About the Item

A pair of Italian early 19th-century pierced glazed porcelain compotes attributed to the Giustiniani manufactory in Naples. These refined serveware pieces exemplify the zenith of Neapolitan ceramic artistry, competing with Europe's finest tableware of the period. Crafted circa 1800, these versatile serving bowls feature a breathtaking openwork design that transforms the delicate clay into an almost lace-like structure. The intricate pattern begins with a circular, fluted base, rises through a pierced stem with vertical cuts, and culminates in an upper section resembling fine lacework, adorned with lunette and triangular motifs. The light creamy and soft ivory hues characteristic of fine Italian earthenware provides the perfect canvas for the delicate pierced work. This subtle warm tone enhances the visual appeal and showcases the exceptional skill of Giustiniani's master ceramicists. Imagine these tableware pieces gracing an elegant Neapolitan palazzo, serving as fruit stands for fresh fruit, or as centerpieces for delicate pastries, or floral arrangements during sophisticated social gatherings. Their versatility and beauty made them integral to the daily lives of Italian nobility and upper classes, witnessing countless refined conversations and elegant meals over two centuries. These Giustiniani masterpieces offer a rare opportunity to own a piece of Italian history and unparalleled craftsmanship. Perfect for collectors of fine ceramics, enthusiasts of Italian pottery, or those seeking to add timeless elegance to their home decor. Whether displayed in a traditional vitrine or as striking accent pieces in a contemporary setting, these collectibles will undoubtedly become the focal point of any space, telling the story of 19th-century Neapolitan society and artistic excellence. Dimensions: Height 8 cm, Diameter 21 cm, Base 13 cm Condition: Very good for age and use, with minimal signs of wear, showcasing the exceptional quality and care these pieces have received over generations.
