Note: Please carefully observe the photos, which are an integral part of the description. This piece is in beautiful vintage condition. It has gracefully aged over the years and bears the traces of time (see photos). The enamel retains all its shine. There are minimal firing imperfections or micro-chips from use on the underside, which are entirely natural for old majolica pieces and attest to its artisanal authenticity. No major cracks, a bubble on the enamel on the foot that does not weaken the pitcher (aesthetic and not structural)

💚 Why we love it:

We adore its proud and expressive look, with its open beak serving as a spout! It will make a statement on a beautiful table for serving water or lemonade for a snack or even amidst other zoomorphic pitchers in a collection.
