A MASSIVE GERMAN MAJOLICA JARDINERE OR UMBRELLA HOLDER
This is probably one of the most ornate pieces of pottery I have ever seen!  It truly is breathtakingly beautiful in person.  The jardinere is of German origin and dates circa 1900. It is called Majolica because, even though it does not resemble what we ordinarily think of as Majolica, it is tin glazed earthenware and that is the technical definition of Majolica.  The figures of the shepherd and sheperdess and the sheep are mold cast and applied to the main vessel.  The floral decoration is hand formed and applied.  As you turn the piece you keep getting more of its beautiful detail, like the coloration of the man and woman's clothing stunning hand painted seascape.  The height at the tallest spot is a full 22 1/2 ".  The diameter of the top opening is   8 1/2".  The  diameter of the base ring is  10 1/4".   The overall diameter at the widest portion is 16 1/2".  The bottom is signed with what appears to be a crown over the letter M.  Unfortunately I have no idea who the talented artist is.  There is a tight hairline crack and some scattered losses to parts of the sheep and floral material but overall considering the size, type and extent of decoration the condition is very good.
