This striking Wine Vessel has numerous decorative and utilitarian possibilities. In my possession it was most often an Umbrella Stand. It has a dynamic painted exterior (both majolica and Deruta) with a brilliant and fanciful color palate and design. It bears a famous Latin phrase "in vino veritas". In vino veritas, is a Latin phrase that means "In wine, there is truth", suggesting a person under the influence of alcohol is more likely to speak their hidden thoughts and desires. Always a fun and jarring concept to consider when you just about to run into rain or have just come in from it.
A strong piece of Majolica Deruta Ceramic. It is hand thrown ceramic and it is hand painted. The decoration is classic Deruta Majolica School. It stands 15" tall. at its center it is 10" across. Its mouth opening is 7".
Cheers, less
