Description

This charming vintage glazed ceramic monkey pitcher, designed by Raymond Waites for the "Safari" collection by Certified International, is a masterclass in whimsical Chinoiserie design. The piece features a seated monkey with an expressive, open-mouthed spout, expertly hand-painted with lifelike tonal variations in the fur. Resting upon a faux-bamboo octagonal base adorned with a laurel leaf motif, the monkey clutches a vibrant red fruit, adding a striking pop of color to the sophisticated earthy palette. The elegantly curved tail serves as an ergonomic handle, making it a perfect example of functional art that bridges the gap between traditional safari aesthetics and high-style Hollywood Regency decor. Measuring 10.5 inches long, 5 inches deep, and 11.5 inches tall, this substantial pitcher is an ideal statement piece for a summer bar cart, a breakfast nook, or as a sculptural addition to a curated hutch display. It is in excellent vintage condition, exhibiting beautiful age-appropriate crazing to the glaze—particularly visible on the underside—which serves as a testament to its authentic history and adds a delicate, sought-after patina. Whether used for service or displayed as a conversation starter, this piece brings a playful yet sophisticated spirit to any interior. Add this delightful find to your collection today.
