Vintage Hand-Painted Thistle And Gold Trim Italian Pottery Vase

This vase, with its hand-painted thistle design and distinctive ruffled, gilded rim, exemplifies the popular decorative style of Italian pottery from the mid-20th century. The combination of naturalistic floral elements with a somewhat abstract rendering, along with the use of turquoise and gold, is characteristic of pieces designed to add a touch of color and artistry to homes during the MCM period.
