An architectural pair of Italian terracotta sphere orb finials on classical pedestal bases made by Manifattura Impruneta Terracotte Artistiche Lavorate, Tuscany, Italy. The most durable terracotta in the world. The beautiful pink color of the terracotta is due to the high presence of "galestro" a clay with a high iron content. Once fired, these products, become as strong as metal. Therefore they can resist bad weather conditions, frost and ice in winter and become stronger and stronger in time. Each finial has a rich and deep patina of sun-warmed dusty salmon and adobe tones with handsome surface weathering from firing and natural wear. Each finial design features turned stems and square plinth bases with eased edges. Both retain maker's marks and Made in Italy stamps. The spheres come off of the plinth bases for ease of transport and installation. The bases measure approximately 10" by 10". Sold as a pair.
