2 ANTIQUE ITALIAN DELLA ROBBIA PLANTERS 1 LARGE Lovely

These are 2 very lovely antique flower pots of Italy with a be beautiful blue glaze and 3 dimensional fruit and bows. I purchased them at an estate sale maybe 20 years ago and always thought them too pretty to use. Still do. They are not absolutely perfect but I think they are for the collector. The smaller of the two is 3" tall and 4 1/4" wide at the rim. Blue glaze on the inside and out with the mustard bands and mustard and yellow and aubergine/eggplant fruit with greenery garland. The bottom is marked 1173, Italy, C. There is an area beneath the C with glaze loss. There is also an area inside the bottom where the blue glaze did not take and it looks whiter in that area. Please see my pictures for this. The larger of the two planters/pots is very beautiful in my mind. The fruit is very raised and with the white bows and the blue background and yellow rim complimenting the yellow lemons, it is just exquisite! Marked Italy on the bottom. White on the inside. White ribbons and bows above fruit trophies or gatherings around. Mustard and lemon bands-all of the right colors. BEAUTIFUL! There is one tiny loss to glaze shown in picture 10, below the greenery and below the mustard band but barely visible. Planter is a little over 6 1/4" tall and about 7" wide. I welcome your questions and thank you for your interest. I have 4 more of these to list so watch for them. read more
