*This is a very nice piece of Rubboli majolica or 'tin-glazed faience' from Gualdo Tadino in the province of Perugia (the Umbria region of Italy), and dating to the period 1931 - 1935.

The factory was founded in the late 1800s by one of Italy's most celebrated Renaissance-revival ceramists, Paolo Rubboli (1838-1890). That's the "PR" initials under the triangle.

The S.C.U. in a triangle is for "Società Ceramica Umbra" a name adopted from 1920 when production was split into two locations, one in Gubbio, and the other, where this vase was produced, in Gualdo Tadino under the directorship of Paulo Rubboli's son Alberto Rubboli, & Giuseppe Baduel.

It's a really well-executed example of the revival of the magnificent Italian Renaissance decoration of the 16th century made in the famous ceramic workshops of Pesaro, Deruta, Gubbio and of course Faenza which is how faience got its name.

The vibrancy of the palette is created by first covering the entire vessel with a base coat of white tin glaze to hide the (usually) red or terracotta pottery. The white is allowed to dry and then painted over with the colors. The colors are slightly translucent so the light reflects back off the white tin glaze, illuminating them from the back, if you will, and making them so much brighter, almost like light shining through a stained glass window.

The cleverest effect of all, and what collectors consider the holy grail of Italian majolica/faience, is the lustrous iridescent sheen that the best potters were able to produce, the so called golden and copper lustreware (lustro) glazes invented by Giorgio Andreoli (c.1465 – 1553) in the early 1500s and much celebrated ever since. Examples of original Giorgio Andreoli pieces sell for tens of thousands of dollars.
