Italian Egg Vase

Vintage Italian Ceramic Egg-Shaped Miniature Vase with Hand-Applied Porcelain Flowers

Delightful vintage Italian ceramic egg-shaped miniature vase or decorative container, beautifully handcrafted with an elegant textured eggshell finish and adorned with delicate hand-applied porcelain flowers in soft pastel colours.

The charming cracked egg design is enhanced with finely sculpted roses, daisies and foliage, showcasing the craftsmanship associated with traditional Italian decorative ceramics. Measuring approximately 8 cm high and 7 cm in diameter, it is the perfect size for displaying dried flowers, serving as a decorative trinket holder, or simply adding a touch of vintage elegance to a cabinet, shelf or dressing table.

The base bears a handwritten "1858 Italy" inscription. This is believed to be a pattern, model or inventory number rather than the year of manufacture, making the piece an attractive example of vintage Italian studio ceramics, most likely dating from the mid to late twentieth century.

A lovely addition for collectors of Italian ceramics, porcelain flowers, Capodimonte-style decorative ware, miniature vases and unique vintage home décor.
