Italian Hand-Painted Floral Ewer with Copper Luster Glaze, Circa 1950

A charming Italian hand-painted ceramic ewer featuring vibrant red roses, lush green foliage, and a warm copper luster glaze. Crafted in the mid-20th century, this decorative vessel combines traditional European pottery techniques with a richly colored floral design that brings warmth and character to any interior.

The elegant baluster-shaped body is complemented by a dramatic scrolling handle and flared pouring spout, creating a graceful silhouette inspired by classical European forms. Hand-painted roses adorn both sides of the vessel, while the metallic glaze enhances the depth and richness of the decoration.

Whether displayed on a shelf, console, sideboard, or within a collection of European ceramics, this piece offers timeless decorative appeal and old-world charm. Its striking coloration and sculptural form make it a wonderful accent for French country, Mediterranean, traditional, and eclectic interiors.
