A sophisticated mid-century Italian art pottery pitcher, meticulously hand-painted by the artisans of C.A.C.F. (Cooperativa Artigiana Ceramisti Faentini) in the historic town of Faenza, Italy. Dating back to the 1950s–1960s, this piece is a beautiful showcase of the iconic "Garofano di Faenza" (Faenza Carnation) pattern, a design rich in history and Mediterranean charm. Crafted in traditional tin-glazed majolica (faience), the jug features a vibrant palette of cobalt blue, iron red, forest green, and ochre motifs over a luminous white background. The bottom features the authentic hand-painted signature "C.A.C.F. FAENZA", confirming its collectible value and mid-century provenance. With its generous shape and sturdy weight, it serves perfectly as a functional wine or water pitcher at an eclectic dinner table, or simply as a striking decorative statement piece on a rustic sideboard or contemporary shelving unit. Excellent vintage condition. The ceramic is beautifully preserved with absolutely no chips, cracks, or restorations. The colors and glaze remain bright and glossy. CODE 8.
