Vintage Hand - Painted - Lapithos -Cyprus Ceramic Wine Set

IF YOU LIKE THIS ITEM, MAKE AN OFFER YOU MIGHT BE PLEASANTLY SURPRISED…

A rare, authentic pre-1974 6-piece ceramic wine or liqueur set, hand-thrown and freehand-painted in the historic pottery town of Lapithos, Cyprus.

About the Design & Origin:
Each piece is signed on the base "Hand Made 'Lapithos' Cyprus". The hand-painted purple five-petal flowers with crimson centres depict the Cyprus Cyclamen—the national flower of Cyprus—framed by traditional green scroll borders and dark banded rims.

Located on the northern coast of Cyprus in the Kyrenia district, Lapithos was renowned for centuries as the island's premier centre for glazed pottery (a craft officially recognised on the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage list). Because Lapithos potters were displaced in 1974, genuine signed pre-1974 Lapithos sets are significantly scarcer than later southern Cypriot tourist wares

Details & Condition:

Set Includes: 1 tall handled carafe/pitcher with pinched spout, 1 original green-glazed ceramic stopper, and 4 matching stemmed pedestal goblets.

Condition: Lovely vintage display condition with bright, glossy cream glaze and vibrant brushwork. Full transparency on minor age wear: one goblet has a small chip on the top rim, and another goblet has a fine vertical hairline crack near the rim (both clearly shown in the photos). The carafe, stopper, and remaining two goblets are in great condition.
