Savona majolica pouring vessel, F.A. mark, second quarter of the 18th century
Globular in shape, the circular mouth with rounded rim, it has a ribbon handle and a molded ring foot.
The decoration, monochrome blue on a white background, arranges its figures in the rarefied landscape typical of the eighteenth-century type of "small figures", spread over the entire surface of the vase. The part that has become the front because it is opposite to the one where the handle is applied, houses the coat of arms of the Olivetan Order flanked by two angels, participating in the abbreviated pictorial style of the whole. The initials "F.A" are placed on the bottom of the vase.
Height 13 centimeters
Exhibitions: Paper label of the "Antica Maiolica Ligure" Exhibition of 1939 in Genoa
