This is an ornate ceramic pitcher made by the renowned Zsolnay factory of Pécs, Hungary, known for its exquisite craftsmanship and distinctive designs. The pitcher features intricate openwork, or reticulated detailing, covering the bulbous body, which is adorned with delicate floral motifs in soft pastel shades of pink and green. These floral elements stand out against the creamy beige glaze that covers the majority of the piece.
The handle is a standout feature, elaborately sculpted with a scrolling design that complements the overall aesthetic. The spout is elegantly shaped with a scalloped edge and a slight lip, further embellished with subtle botanical patterns, typical of the Art Nouveau influence seen in many Zsolnay pieces.
The base of the pitcher continues the intricate detailing with additional openwork and floral decorations. This piece is not only a fine example of decorative art but also showcases the high level of craftsmanship that Zsolnay ceramics are known for.
This pitcher likely dates from the late 19th to early 20th century, a period when Zsolnay was at the height of its production, creating ceramics that were highly sought after across Europe. This piece has an attribution mark,
