It is a potiche decorated with a metallic “luster”, a technique used in Italian Renaissance majolica, on an intense blue background with red oriental motifs. An identical specimen was presented at the Universal Exhibition in Paris in 1900 and entered the collections of the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. The vase is marked on the base with the “rooster”, a Florentine manufacturer's trademark, and the number 21. On the Cantagalli sample album, the vase was called “Sicilian Moorish Ruby Reflection Coppo”, n. 146, cost 150/650 Lit., according to a price list printed in Florence in 1911 and 1925.
