Vintage 1960s Italian Majolica Clown Vases / Jugs – Set of 3 Graduated Sizes
Rare, matching set of graduated mid-century modern Italian pottery clown jugs. Hand-painted with incredible character, these anthropomorphic art pieces feature bright multi-colored striped costumes, raised teal-green suspenders, and cheerful clown faces complete with signature green noses and red bowties.
Crafted in Italy during the 1960s, these majolica ceramics are attributed to the celebrated Libertas workshop of San Marino.
Each base is hand-inscribed with the shape catalog number 14708, pattern code 162, and their individual nesting size sequence (1, 3, and 4).
Dimensions:
• Large Jug: 19.5 cm Height
• Medium Jug: 15.5 cm Height
• Small Jug: 9 cm Height
This vintage set is in lovely, bright condition and displays beautifully.
As is common with authentic mid-century majolica glazes, there are a few minor glaze flakes due to age:
• Large (19.5cm): Pristine, perfect vintage condition.
• Medium (15.5cm): Features one minor glaze flake on the edge of the ear.
• Small (9cm): Features two small glaze flakes—one on the ear and one on the yellow front button.
No structural cracks or major chips. Please review all listing photos closely to appreciate the hand-crafted details and exact condition of this wonderful collector's set.
Perfect for collectors of mid-century Italian pottery, Bitossi-era ceramics, or retro circus-themed folk art.
