About the Item

Antique Lithograph of Italian Faience Vasque, Stockholm Museum, Delange, 1869 Large-format antique lithograph depicting a monumental Italian faience vasque in the grotesque style, preserved in the collection of the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm. The vessel is richly ornamented with sculptural lion heads and paws forming the handles and supports, while its body is decorated with playful cherubs, fantastical animals, and festoons of flowers. The balance of painted grotesque decoration with bold sculptural relief reflects the inventive artistry of Renaissance maiolica masters. This lithograph originates from Henri Delange’s *Recueil de Faïences Italiennes des XVe, XVIe et XVIIe Siècles* (Paris, 1869), a lavish folio documenting the finest examples of Italian tin-glazed pottery. The grotesque style, inspired by ancient Roman decorations unearthed in the Domus Aurea, was a hallmark of Renaissance ceramics from Urbino and other Italian centers, where fantastical motifs transformed functional vessels into works of display art admired throughout Europe. Condition: Very good, with light age toning and occasional foxing mainly in the margins. Plate mark visible. Colors remain fresh and vivid. Please study the image carefully. Framing tips: This dramatic composition will be well presented with a wide ivory or cream mat to highlight the vibrant palette. A gilt frame will echo the golden tones of the lion heads and paws, while a dark wood frame will lend contrast and gravitas. For a refined finish, consider double matting with a green or terracotta inner line to reflect the Renaissance decorative palette. Technique: Color lithograph Maker: Henri Delange, Paris, 1869
