Rare Medici porcelain vases donated to Florence museum


Manufactured between 1575 and 1585, both vases are white with blue decoration and feature striking serpentine handles.
The first vessel is a jug, or mesciroba, 16 centimeters tall. It has a globular body, a long cylindrical neck, and a spout with a distinctive triangular cross-section, while the handle consists of two snake-like forms joined together—a design that gives the object a particularly elaborate appearance. The white surface is decorated in deep blue with peonies, daisies, and lotus flowers. The decoration draws specifically on Chinese porcelain from the Ming Dynasty and the Yongle period, but the Eastern model is not the object’s sole source of inspiration. The shapes of the flowers, in fact, derive from a decorative tradition that had already been influenced by Islamic metalware, while the structure of the vessel recalls the Hispano-Moorish mescirobes with tall necks and spheroidal bodies produced in the Valencia region between the 14th and 15th centuries. […]
The second piece, on the other hand, is slightly larger, about 20 centimeters tall, and has a different shape. It is a vase with an ovoid body, two opposing serpentine handles, and a hexagonal spout protruding from the body (its shape finds a parallel in the grotesque-decorated Urbino majolica pieces that had already been part of the Medici collections since 1569).
The grand-ducal workshop of Casino di San Marco was one of several founded by Francesco I as a laboratory for experimentation where painters, sculptors, academics and artisans worked together to investigate natural phenomena and invent new materials and processes. Francesco had a great personal interest in alchemy and glassmaking, as well as in collecting at and antiquities, and he invested much time and money promoting technical innovation by marrying the experimental sciences in the applied arts.
On the first floor of the palace alone were glass works, an alchemy laboratory, foundries for metal work, including the forging of steel tools hard enough to hew porphyry, furnaces where rock crystal was fused to create decorative objects and precious stones (emeralds, rubies) were counterfeited, and ovens for producing a soft paste porcelain that became known as “Medici porcelain.”
In 1575, the Florentine manufactory succeeded in producing the first examples of what would come to be known as “Medici Porcelain, ” a soft-paste porcelain that represented Europe’s first successful attempt to reproduce the Eastern material. The venture was short-lived, however: the very high temperatures required for firing and the high production costs limited its development, and the manufactory ceased operations after the death of Francesco I in 1587, resulting in a very limited production run (the inventories of the Medici court recorded about three hundred pieces, but today only sixty or seventy survive worldwide). It is in this context that the donation of the two vases to the Museum of San Marco should be viewed, as it expands an already extremely rare presence in Tuscan public collections.
Both vases bear the workshop’s mark on the bottom: the dome of Santa Maria del Fiore painted in blue, surmounted by the letter “F,” the initial identifying Florence. This is one of the features that allows us to recognize production linked to the court of Francesco I and immediately connects the objects to the experimentation carried out in the Tuscan capital.
The vases have gone on display in the Museum of San Marco’s Greek Hall, where they will be neighbors with Renaissance majolica apothecary jars from the Dominican convent that was across the street from the Casino di San Marco.

More than 30 early Iron Age houses found in South Tyrol



A remarkable discovery concerns the treatment of deceased children. Within the settlement, a small burial ground was found containing only infants. Unlike the nearby cremation cemetery in Windschnur (also in Niederrasen), these children were not cremated but buried directly within the settlement. This suggests that there were apparently special forms of farewell and remembrance for them. At the same time, the find serves as a reminder of how high infant mortality was at that time: many children did not survive their first year, with mortality rates ranging from 20 to 35 percent.
The settlement was located on the east-west axis through the Puster Valley, a strategically important link connecting the Venetii of northern Italy with the Raetians of what is now Switzerland. It continued to be populated until the 1st century B.C. By that time the area had changed from a Raetian community to part of the Celtic kingdom of Noricum, but continued to have strategic significance. Layers of charcoal and the charred remains of wooden beams from the pile homes point to the settlement having been destroyed by fire.

Celtic shield and weapon set found in Hungary
A rare set of Celtic shield fittings and spearhead has been discovered near the village of Erdőbénye in northeastern Hungary. It is the first of its kind from the region and will shed new light on Celtic communities in the area during the Iron Age.
Archaeologists and volunteers made the find during a community fieldwork as part of a multi-year project to systematically map known archaeological sites and identify previously-unknown ones in the Erdőbénye region. Led by archaeologists with the Hungarian National Museum, the community archaeology teams survey sites with metal detectors and excavate finds they encounter.
