Teapot

Descrizione:

The shape and decoration of this object are inspired by oriental porcelain, in particular Japanese Imari porcelain, characterised by blue, red and gold colours, replaced here by ochre. The presence of two different marks may be due to the fact that the lid, which bears the symbol used by the Salamone family, was added at a later date, perhaps to replace the original one. Teapot with a globular body, twisted handle and domed lid, with a mark on the back. The decoration, in blue and yellow ochre, includes a series of blue multi-lobed elements at the top enclosing single or bunched ochre-coloured leaves. At the bottom are painted plant shoots with small flowers.

Velvet cloth

Descrizione:

The fabric belongs to the category of ‘walking’ velvets, characterised by a decorative pattern that repeats horizontally. Although the fabric is composed of several fragments of the same fabric, assembled at an unknown date, it is possible to read and identify the pattern, which consists of a multi-lobed reserve enclosing an upright pomegranate, crowned by leaves from which five stems branch out symmetrically, each bearing a small flower. In the area above, the outline of the reserve is made up of knotted branches, intertwined with oblong leaves, while at the top there is a similar smaller pomegranate, repeated further between one reserve and another.
