Impossible to overlook.
This 6.5" majolica pitcher is historically attributed to Ridgways of Staffordshire — one of Victorian England's most celebrated pottery manufacturers — and it shows in every detail.
The bark-textured ground is the first thing you notice: a deep, mottled brown that mimics tree bark with the kind of tactile precision that defines the best Victorian majolica.
Rising from it, a large relief-molded palmetto in vivid green glaze — fronds spreading with natural confidence against the dark ground.
The angular bamboo-form handle is perfectly considered. The interior is glazed in a clean mint green, the finishing touch that makes the piece complete from every angle.
We recommend this piece for display only. Should you choose to use it, please lead test prior to food contact, as with all antique majolica.
Tucked inside every set, a little something for first time Tavola customers — a hand-finished vintage passport notebook. Note the piece, the moment, the person you gave it to. One day these pieces will sit in someone else's hands — and they'll know it came from yours.
