Polychrome maiolica and gold
Manufactured in Italy between 1925 and 1930, this vase by Pietro Melandri is distinguished by its whitewashed lid and refined decorative presence. Executed in polychrome maiolica with gold accents, it reflects Melandri’s early exploration of color, surface, and ornament. The piece stands as a testament to the Faenza ceramic tradition from which Melandri emerged.
