Lot 049: Collection of Three Decorative Ceramic Urns with Catalogue

Description

A striking collection of three ceramic urns, likely of Italian origin and exhibiting a majolica-inspired aesthetic. Each piece features elaborate raised relief decoration and hand-painted details. The large central urn is adorned with classical figures, possibly nymphs and putti, in a garden setting, rendered in pastel hues with ornate handles and extensive gold trim. The tall, slender urn on the left showcases a pastoral scene with figures and architecture in a monochromatic brown and white relief with gold accents. The smaller lidded urn on the right also features detailed relief of putti engaging in various activities, including one on a wheeled contraption, in similar brown and white tones with a cherubic finial. All urns stand on decorative footed bases. Accompanying the urns is a small catalogue displaying images of other related ceramic decorative items, suggesting they may be from a specific manufacturer's collection.
