Both pieces are signed on the base "bertolotto" for the "emmebi" factory. A superb pair of vintage furnishings dating back to the 1960s.

subject and style: design in the sumptuous renaissance "istoriato" style. The upper vase (cachepot) is decorated with a scene of winged cherubs (angels) and garlands, with sculptural handles. The column is painted with classical allegorical figures in a landscape. Material and finish: made of high-quality majolica (glazed ceramic), entirely hand-painted with a rich palette of polychrome colors. The finish is glossy and brilliant. The edges and bases feature rich leaf and garland decorations. Base: the column rests on a large, decorated circular base, which ensures perfect stability for the entire structure. Both pieces bear the handwritten signature of the manufacturer and the artist on the bottom. Ideal for collectors of albissola ceramics, as a monumental focal piece (total height 96.5 cm) for an entryway, living room, or prestigious study.
