Ewer with pheasant, glazed ceramic, historicist style, 20th century

Descriptio Glazed and polychrome ceramic. Measures 79 x 45 x 28 cm. Ewer consisting of a basin with lid and bowl, decorated with flowers, scrolls, and a striking long-tailed pheasant on a crackled white background. The sides with mascarons and the small front tap enhance its sculptural presence, while the polychrome of blues, yellows, and greens enlivens the surface with a cheerful and domestic tone. The crackled glaze and the exuberance of the ornamental repertoire evoke historicist models of 18th-century inspiration, reinterpreted at the beginning of the 20th century with a clear decorative purpose.
