Curated vintage Italian ceramic canister
Hand-painted in Italy
Charming yet commanding in scale, this Bertini Italian ceramic canister is a distinctive vintage collectible featuring a beautifully rendered golden hare surrounded by traditional Italian ornamental decoration.
The central panel depicts a poised hare in warm golden ochre, detailed with expressive black brushwork and set against a dramatic deep cobalt-blue ground. Delicate ivory floral motifs rise on either side, while a softly painted green landscape grounds the composition. The result is wonderfully graphic, combining rustic Italian imagery with the richness of classic maiolica decoration.
Ornamental cobalt scrollwork encircles the neck, complemented by layered bands of golden ochre, cobalt blue, ivory, and green. The coordinating fitted lid is crowned with a rounded golden finial, completing the canister’s handsome architectural silhouette.
Measuring approximately 11" high x 6" wide, this substantial piece has wonderful decorative presence. Display it on a kitchen counter, open shelving, sideboard, or alongside other Bertini canisters to create a striking collection of Italian ceramic art.
For collectors of Bertini Italian ceramics, the unusual hare motif, saturated Mediterranean palette, and generous proportions make this an especially engaging vintage find.
As a vintage collectible, subtle variations, imperfections, and signs of age contribute to its individual history and character. Please review photographs carefully for condition.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Italian ceramics are heirloom quality products, and can last lifetime with proper care. We have some suggestions that will preserve your majolica for years to come.
Majolica is dishwasher safe, but many people choose to hand wash their pieces as a precaution. Because majolica is a porous material, some pieces are not meant to hold liquid for a long period of time. Check for warning labels before ordering a product, as the pieces that are most notorious for "sweating" are appropriately labeled.
Majolica is sensitive to extreme temperatures, specifically boiling or freezing liquids. Pouring water with a rolling boil directly into a teapot, for example, may lead to breakage. To avoid this, temper the object. The industry standard is 620 degrees Celsius (1,148 degrees Fahrenheit). Quench the glass to cool it.
Crazing is common in well used majolica. The tiny cracks in the glaze do not affect the functionality of your majolica.
Majolica hand-crafted products should not be microwaved, as it may crack and/or break the ceramics.
