Up for auction from my private collection is this Spectacular Antique Italian Majolica Lidded Faience Urn.  I am unsure of the exact date.  It is at least late nineteenth century, but I suspect earlier.  I was told when I purchased this piece that it had earlier repairs (not uncommon for a piece this old) but I cannot locate them with the naked eye.  Other than that, I do not find any chips or breaks.

This piece measures 28" overall height, 12" at its widest and 9" at its deepest.  It features wonderful handles with women, paintings of putti and women and a bird on the lid perched on a pomegranate.   It is signed AF under the base as shown. A rare addition to any serious collection, this urn is a must have.

Please feel free to email with any questions, or more images.  Thanks for looking and Happy Bidding!
