Centerpiece with snake handles and Cupid

Lovely ceramic centerpiece, entirely shaped and painted by hand. 

The style of this decoration is called “Raffaellesco”, which typically features interwined leaves and winged dragons.

The cobalt blue of the background is also laid by brush, paying attention to fill each little space. 

The medallions on the sides frame winged dragons on red and green backgrounds.

In the center a romantic winged Cupid in a garden in bloom. 

Unique piece, signed and dated. 

Dimensions: width 30 cm (handles included) ; Height 22 cm (handles included).
