Original

Ancient terracotta box widespread since 1700 (18th century), with bas-reliefs and superimposed friezes: festoons, masks and studs with noble references.
The dumpster has the original 19th-century "Vaccarella" logo on one of the two long sides.
Specifically, this specimen sports six Central American-style masks that reproduce Mayan masks, an iconography that was successful from the very early 1800s up to the Decò period.

More info

The ceramic factory "Vaccarella", managed by Raffaele and Pasquale Vaccarella, has been active in Naples since the second half of the 1800s.
The production, poorly documented, is made up of majolica, generally of traditional taste, with reference to the styles of Urbino, Castelli and Casteldurante, made with great technical ability and mastery.
In addition to the "riggiole" tiles, they produce flower pots and terracotta boxes of the "testone" type.
Among the ceramists active at the manufactory are Eugenio Culicchio and Ugo Barbera.
The manufacture is certainly still active in the '30s.
