About the Item
We kindly suggest you read the whole description, because with it we try to give you detailed technical and historical information to guarantee the authenticity of our objects.
Original and particular head in white glazed ceramic, the facial features have been deliberately outlined in a light way but are elegant and refined, is a special piece and characteristic of the 70s, was used as a simple and pleasant decoration of environments, or as practical support for wig, glasses, hats or headphones. It was made between 1968 and 1972 in a craft workshop in Sassuolo (Modena-Italy), a famous and important area for the production of Italian ceramics. The sculptor obtained a hollow blank of white clay, then began to model the face by hand and smoothed it, always by hand, with special tools until he reached the desired finish, he let it dry completely and evenly, the drying times were long to avoid the creation of breaks; performed the first firing at low temperature (1000°C), then immersed it in a white tin oxide enamel containing a vitrifying agent and fired it a second time to fix the color, thus obtaining glossy and homogeneous enameling; these manual processes can be observed on our object, in fact, the surface is not perfect as if it had been made mechanically, but it is pleasantly uneven and therefore more valuable than the industrial one. The artifact is in excellent condition. Measures diameter cm.21, height cm.25. For all our shipments we use special packaging materials (wooden crates, styrofoam, etc.) for maximum protection and safety of the objects.

- Saint Clement Style France Art Deco Statue Pair White Craquelè Ceramic PantersBy Saint-ClémentLocated in Prato, TuscanyWe kindly suggest that you read the entire description, as with it we try to give you detailed technical and historical information to guarantee the authenticity of our objects. Beautiful Art Deco sculpture in white craquelé ceramic depicting a pair of panthers; the noble animals are depicted walking, with their plush stride, in the tall grass in a calm and relaxed attitude; the powerful muscles of the beasts are relaxed, but the representation is always charged with strength and pride, a classic example of the Art Deco style that exalted in its artistic expressions the forms, strength, and power of both humans and animals. The object features very distinctive workmanship: the piece of raw ceramic was first molded into its final soft and elegant form, then fired at about 1000° C, then an ancient technique was used by applying "crystalline" (a transparent vitreous coating) with an ox brush; then distributed, again with a brush, white glaze over the entire body of the panthers; the glazing stage requires a lot of skill, as the glaze must be evenly deposited on the surface of the object, at which point, very quickly, to fix the glaze, the piece was put into the kiln between 920 and 940 degrees for the final firing. By looking at the underside we can better understand this technique. The panther pair...Category
