Large pottery charger with a deep well, hand painted with incorporating the ingobbio technique which is the antique Tuscan process that imparts an Old World look while adding body to the color. Overall leafy background with double cornucopia with birds, flanked by large dolphins, two Cherub heads with wings and a large shield with "SPQR", an initialism of a phrase in Latin; "Sen?tus Populusque R?m?nus" which translates "The Roman Senate and People", or more freely as "The Senate and People of Rome". In the renaissance era, these masterfully hand painted vessels, were exchanged as gifts among the noble families as they were often commissioned to depict a family member and also exchanged in special occasions between lovers for wedding or anniversary occasions. 18"D.
