This large majolica vase from the 1930s, designed by Alberto Rubboli in Gualdo Tadino, exemplifies Italian ceramic tradition in the Renaissance Revival style. Its amphora-inspired form features a tall, slender body (height 34 cm), a flared foot, and two high, elegantly curved handles. The dominant hue is a deep, saturated cobalt blue, covered with a glossy, iridescent glaze that imparts a mirror-like sheen. Hand-painted floral and foliate motifs in warm ochre, gold, and beige create a vivid contrast against the blue background, while the neck and rim are adorned with intricate patterns in white, blue, and yellow. The handles are distinguished by alternating blue and ochre stripes, adding a dynamic accent. The surface is smooth and highly polished. The vase is preserved in excellent condition, with no signs of use, damage, or restoration. This vase tells the story of Italian craftsmanship from the interwar period, when majolica enjoyed a revival as a canvas for Renaissance-inspired ornamentation and joyful color. The cobalt glaze evokes the atmosphere of Italian courtyards and gardens, with light shimmering on the surface like sunbeams on water. The hand-painted details echo a dialogue with
