Antique Aesthetic Movement Etruscan Majolica Pottery Pitcher

Charming and highly collectible example of late 19th-century design, this Antique Aesthetic Movement Etruscan Majolica Pottery Pitcher embodies the elegance and artistry of the Aesthetic Movement. Made in the 1880's, made by Griffin, Smith & Hill, this small scale pitcher was beautifully hand painted in a palette of soft green, rose and golden tones. Featuring a raised floral and leaf motif with a delicately ribbed neck and an interior washed in glossy pink, it reflects the signature artistry and color blending typical of high-quality majolica.

The spout is often referred to as a butterfly spout. This petite pitcher was intended for cream or syrup, because of its smaller size it is actually more rare to find, as little ones like this were often used daily and tended to be broken more often. The finely modeled details and subtle glaze variations highlight the craftsmanship that makes Etruscan Majolica highly sought-after among collectors, an exceptional addition to your cherished majolica collection.
