About the Item
This striking hand-painted ceramic figure of a dancer is a masterpiece of Italian decorative art. It was created by the renowned artist Sandro Vacchetti for his own ceramics company, Essevi, in Torino (Turin), Italy. Vacchetti, a former artistic director at the prestigious Lenci factory, founded Essevi in 1934. The company's pieces are highly sought after by collectors and are celebrated for their expressive and often whimsical character.
The figure depicts a dancer in a moment of dynamic motion, holding a tambourine above her head as her skirt whirls around her. The hand-painted details are exquisite, from her intricately rendered face to the vibrant colors of her costume and the ruffled texture of her skirt. The base, with its checkered pattern, adds to the theatrical quality of the piece.
Signed on the bottom, "ESSEVI MADE IN ITALY," this figure is a beautiful example of Vacchetti's unique style, which blends the elegance of Art Deco with a modern, expressive flair. It is a rare and captivating find for any collector of Italian ceramics or mid-century decorative arts.
