La Gioconda" pattern two-handled amphora vase • The Stamp: The circular factory backstamp reads "MAIOLICHE DERUTA" with a stylized amphora jar symbol inside. • Hand-painted Signature: The text reads "Deruta Italy", which is standard for traditional workshops in the region confirming its geographical origin. • Production / Model Code: The code "V222 / 35" specifies the piece's model number (V222) and its height or specific dimension, which is 35 centimeters (roughly 13.8 inches). The Gold Gilding: The shiny metallic accents on the handles, rim, and base are made of liquid 22K gold leaf. This is applied on top of the already-fired glaze and requires a meticulous third firing at a lower temperature (known as the third-fire technique). Signs of wear. The Motif: The central design features a hand-painted Griffin (or Grifo), a mythical creature symbolic of power and guardianship, very common in Umbrian heraldry and traditional renaissance-revival ceramics The "La Gioconda" Style: This line is distinguished by its incredibly dense, textured background scratching techique (Sgraffito) over a rich emerald green glaze, surrounded by classical acanthus leaf scrollwork. Gilding: The accents along the rim, base, and handles are painted in liquid 22K gold, giving it a luxurious, metallic contrast typical of museum-quality mid-to-late 20th-century decorative lines from the region.
