Produced in Italy by the historic Societa Ceramica Italiana (S.C.I.) Laveno under their premium "Diamondstone" line, this piece features the highly collectible, vibrantly colorful "Baronessa" pattern.

Design & Details:
This hollowware piece features a sculptural, low-slung "melon-ribbed" body that mimics the elegant lobes of a pumpkin. The creamy ivory glaze is beautifully contrasted by a hand-applied horizontal ribbon of black-outlined, mid-century stylized flowers in striking turquoise, cobalt blue, marigold orange, and deep green. The matching ribbed lid tapers perfectly to a delicate leaf-form finial. Highly elusive on the secondary market, this sculptural teapot is a true collector's find and the perfect addition to a Grandmillennial, Hollywood Regency, or eclectic European-inspired interior.

Dimensions (Approximate)
Height: 5.75" (Base to top of lid finial)
Width: 10" (Spout tip to outer edge of handle)
