Early 19th Century Italian Glazed Stoneware Planter

This vry beautifule Italian jardinere was most likely designed to hold a bay topiary as it has applied bay leaves around the pot and just under the rolled top. Early blue glaze can be seen in the rim and throughout. It measures 11.5 inches in diameter and 9.25 inches tall. One of the loveliest pieces I have had in my collection.
