Antique 18th c. Italian Doccia porcelain altar flame pedestal with faux marble glaze.
The factory at Doccia was under the management of the Ginori family from its founding in 1735 until 1896. In the mid-eighteenth-century Ginori obtained wax casts from famous Baroque sculptures that were intended for bronzes. These were adapted for porcelain and were in use by the factory for the next fifty years. This piece depicts a pedestal with flame emanating from the top. Painted with a marbleized effect and festooned with gilt berry-laden garland separated with ram's head handles. All resting on a guilloche border at the base. Incised marks to the underside.
Good condition - small chips to flame and horns. Measures 9.5" tall x 5.5" wide x 4.5" deep.
