A pair of large terracotta planter columns, Italy.
Each column has a tall cylindrical body with a moulded rim at the top and a flared base. The base is decorated in relief with a crowned bull’s head set within an oval shield, flanked by swags. The open tops are designed to hold plants. The terracotta surface retains its characteristic warm tone and slight variations from firing.
A substantial pair for a terrace, courtyard, or entrance. The crowned bull’s head is a heraldic motif long associated with Italian noble houses. In the Renaissance and Baroque periods, such emblems were used on garden architecture, fountains, and ornamental vessels to signal lineage, authority, and the patronage of the great families. Their presence on these columns places the pieces within that tradition of aristocratic garden ornament.
