This lidded ceramic container on a pedestal, produced by Ceramiche Fiorentine in Italy during the 1950s, is crafted from faience and adorned with distinctly neoclassical ornamentation. The form features a slender foot, and the warm off-white body is accentuated by a central frieze depicting figures inspired by classical antiquity in sepia tones. Wide, pressed relief bands encircle the upper and lower sections, highlighted by gold lines that emphasize the geometric composition. Smooth, mirror-like gilding embellishes the lid—with its tall finial—and the base, creating a reflective surface that plays with surrounding light. The ceramic alternates between silky-smooth (gilded and figurative areas) and lightly textured (relief sections) surfaces. Measuring 29 cm in height and 12 cm in width, the container is preserved in good condition—showing only minor signs of use and a small loss of glaze on the interior rim. There is an echo of the 1950s in this piece—a time when Italian craftsmanship reinterpreted classic traditions, expressing the postwar fascination with opulence and the harmony of ancient forms
