Slipware vase and its stand

Medici-shaped vase resting on its pedestal column made of polychrome glazed earthenware (barbotine or majolica), in neo-Renaissance or Napoleonic III style, most likely dating from the late 19th century. Absence of mark or signature, which is very common for this type of monumental pieces. The object is made of molded earthenware covered with shiny colored glazes (ochre yellow, leaf green, cobalt blue, and caramel brown), using the barbotine technique in France and majolica in England or Italy. The Medici vase features a classic flared silhouette with a gadrooned lip. The neck is adorned in high relief with a frieze of putti (cherubs) and rose garlands, while the two side handles end in masks (antique faces). The lower belly is sculpted with acanthus leaves and palms. The pedestal column has a fluted amber-colored shaft and rests on a square base glazed in blue, finishing with a richly decorated Corinthian-inspired capital featuring foliage and scrolls. VERY GOOD CONDITION.
