Vintage Italian Hand-Painted Ceramic Bacchus Grape Wall Mask (Florence, 1980s)

A striking piece of Italian craftsmanship, this life-size ceramic wall mask depicts Bacchus, the Roman god of wine, crowned with clusters of hand-painted purple grapes and trailing green and gold vine leaves. Made in Florence, Italy during the 1980s, each mask was handmade and hand painted, so no two are exactly alike.

Often collected as part of the popular "4 Seasons" series of ceramic face hangings, this heavy, well-made piece comes fitted with a wire on the reverse for easy hanging. It brings instant old-world character to a kitchen wall, a covered patio, a wine room, or a shaded garden nook.

Measures approximately 10" L x 9 1/2" H x 4 1/2" D. Decorative use only. From a smoke-free home and carefully packaged for safe arrival.
