Lidded jug and lobed basin, Giacomo Boselli, Savona, circa 1780-1790.  Translated
Description:
The jug, made of majolica painted in green and manganese monochrome, has a pear-shaped body with an expanded belly at the bottom and raised ribs; the lid is shaped and surmounted by a "crest" handle, the ribbon handle descends sinuously to the belly, the foot is slightly everted with a concave base. The basin has a body on a flat base, poly-lobed profiles shaped with sharp edges and a curved and raised rim, according to a shape evidently inspired by silverware models, in particular Genoese ones. The surface shows a decoration in emerald green of great intensity, with a depiction of landscapes with adjacent houses, arches, towers and pointed roofs; the whole is inserted in metopes closed by a motif of bare branches, with some reserves occupied by flying lake birds. Signature Jaques Bosellj in manganese brown. Jug: height 28 cm, base diameter 9.2 cm basin: height 6.5 cm width 36 depth 28.5  Translated
