Description :


Ancient Egyptian-Inspired Decorative Vase in the style of Gualdo Tadina Majolica from Italy.

Design Theme: This ornate vase draws heavily from ancient Egyptian art and symbolism. The central motif features a regal figure dressed in traditional Egyptian attire, holding two iconic symbols:

  • Ankh – representing life and immortality

  • Staff – symbolizing authority and divine power

Symbolic Elements: Surrounding the figure are additional cultural emblems:

  • A bird, possibly a falcon or ibis, which often represents gods like Horus or Thoth

  • Hieroglyphic-like markings that enhance the historical authenticity and mystique

    Color & Pattern Details:

    • Top Rim: Decorated with alternating red and white leaf patterns, evoking lotus or papyrus motifs common in Egyptian art

    • Base: Features swirling blue and white designs, adding a dynamic contrast and grounding the piece visually

    • Handles: Sculpted to resemble stylized wings or feathers, possibly referencing the protective wings of goddess Isis or the majesty of Horus

    Material & Finish: While the exact material isn't specified, the vase appears to be ceramic or clay with a semi-glossy finish, ideal for display in a curated collection or themed interior.

    Condition: Shows some age and wear. May be intentional or due to normal wear and use. 

    Cultural Relevance: This piece is not only decorative but also educational, offering a visual narrative of ancient Egyptian beliefs and aesthetics. It would appeal to collectors of historical art, educators, or anyone with an appreciation for ancient civilizations.

    Signature not found. Made in Japan
