About the Item
we offer for sale a ceramic wall decoration, almost made in the round like a sculpture.
Made during the mid-20th century in Italy by the ABC factory in Bassano, a renowned Italian center for artisanal ceramics, this item has all the elements that distinguish the Italian style of the 50s.
Carefreedom, fun and color are shaped into household objects by the skilled hands of Italian artisans.
Before the advent of minimal functionalism, Italian household items and furniture were closely linked to artisanal production since the advent of pure industrial production was very late in Italy, so each piece produced is special, unique and super-worked.
Curls and weaves characterize the production of bamboo and rattan, furniture with zoomorphic and unusual shapes is decorated with refined inlays and handles in cast brass and bronze, and what about ceramic production?
The article we propose is a fusion between a ceramic wall decoration and a lamp, depicting the allegorical figure of Harlequin, a well-known Venetian carnival mask identifiable in the typical trickster easily recognizable by the colorful diamond-patterned costume, which also inspired Alessandro Michele's latest collection for the Valentino fashion house, and a black mask that hides his face.
His role is usually that of a carefree and cheerful, but also cunning servant, who acts to thwart the plans of his master Pantalone, in league with his friend Brighella, and to pursue his love interest, Colombina, with wit and resourcefulness. typical role of the trickster.
The theme of the Harlequin made in painted ceramic is quite common in Italy, just think of those designed by Otello Rosa for the San Polo factory in Venice, but this one has a magnetic and intriguing look that combined with its glamorous golden and sparkling details convinced us to buy it.
The item is intact, it has an imperceptible grain in the ceramic only inside one of the cups highlighted in the photo.
The electrical system has been replaced and working.
