Hugo Lonitz Majolica Figural Table Jardinière Stand, naturalistically molded as an oak tree, with a pair of partridges nesting among bulrushes and grasses, on a rustic mound-form, log and rockwork base, the reverse with impressed marks: Hugo Lonitz & Co. emblem, and design number '1204,' German, ca. 1880.
The website of the Majolica International Society makes an interesting observation on the probable derivation of Hugo Lonitz's animalier sculptures:
"Lonitz took much inspiration for many of his naturalistic majolica pieces from Black Forest carvings that were popular in Europe in the second half of the 19th century. Like the best Black Forest carvings of this era, Lonitz’s earth-toned majolica studies depicted lifelike detail so realistically that observers often have to look twice to ensure the piece hasn’t come to life."
For thirty years we have been among the world's preeminent specialists in fine antique majolica.
