Retro Ceramics - Italian : Fantoni/Gambone/Italian Studio Pottery/Ceramics : 1960s Italian Large Square Lava Glazed Ceramic Decorative Wall Plaque

1960s Italian Large Square Lava Glazed Ceramic Decorative Wall Plaque - ITALY-CSHIP

£25.00

This is an unusually large square Italian ceramic plaque in the Fantoni/Gambone style of a very high gloss glazed finish colourfully decorated with a stylised sailing ship in white sgraffito on a bright red splashy ground and edged with a fantastically crusty lava/volcanic glaze. This dates from the 1960s judging from the style of decoration which is typical for the period. Not marked to the reverse - just a plain matt black glaze as is usual for these pieces. Please see all photographs for alternative views and close-ups.

SIZE: Length & Width 8.25in/21cm square Weight 630g

CONDITION: Great original condition with no chips, cracks or hairlines.

Retro Ceramics - Italian

This section is dedicated to the incredible and iconic designs from the Italian ceramic masters Marcello Fantoni, Guido Gambone and his son Bruno Gambone, as well as the many unidentified and unmarked Italian studio ceramics 'in the style of' designed and manufactured during the 1950's, 1960's and 1970's. This is a very exciting area of ceramics with the kitsch and modernist themes, colours, textures and glazes lending themselves extremely well to contemporary interiors. Pieces are becoming highly collectable resulting in rising prices and items becoming scarcer and harder to find. However, we're constantly on the lookout for these types of Italian ceramics and hope to bring you many pieces with the right 'look' and pedigree (if not always necessarily by Gambone or Fantoni).

Make sure you keep checking back here for new pieces and have a browse through some of our other ceramic sections for ceramics produced outside Italy that were quite obviously influenced by the same inspirations. These types of pottery sit particularly well with other Italian ceramics like Bitossi and Raymor as well as the brilliant ceramics from West Germany from the same period.
