Red and black ceramic table centerpiece made in Rockabilly style, the colors are strong and decisive, the black has the distinction of having beautiful reflections nacreè (mother of pearl), reflections that unfortunately the photos can not capture, from life are really seductive, the form is nicely undulating, pleasant and very capacious; the centerpiece was produced between 1950 and 1953, by skilled artisans in the area of Vallauris, the "French city of ceramics" in Provence north-east of Cannes, renowned since ancient times for the production of this fascinating material; there were more than 250 production centers, but today very few remain and since the mid-20th century, they are dedicated to the manufacture of contemporary ceramics. The word "Rockabilly" is a combination of "rock and roll" and "hillbilly" (a derogatory term used to define the Appalachian mountain people and, in a generic sense, meant country boor); Rockabilly was a musical genre developed in the early 1950s, it was one of the first forms of rock & roll.

Particular and original German ceramic vase colored with a beautiful shade of red and a dark and vivid black; it has a simple shape but at the same time innovative and modernist; the beautiful and bright colors are balanced and proportioned respecting a minimalist design; the glazing of the vase was obtained by first laying down one color, proceeding to fix it by firing it in the kiln, then the same procedure was carried out for the other color; on the bottom is the mark "W.

Three delightful and colorful round ceramic wall plates; they were created completely by hand between 1965 and 1968 by a small artisan workshop in Deruta (Perugia, Italy) respecting ancient traditions and raw materials; clay, enamel, colors, water, fire and the hands of the artist: these are the simple elements that lead to the creation of a ceramic article; on the back they have two holes so they can be hung on the wall; they represent characters in Renaissance clothing, each in a different pose: the first is a swordsman who wields a special weapon of the time the "side sword" with S-shaped guard and a dagger with guard very elaborate, useful to trap the blade of the opponent; the "spada da lato" (side sword) is that elegant and handy sword that, from the second half of the fifteenth century and throughout the sixteenth century, is worn on the belt by nobles or rich, a weapon designed for self-defense or to be used in a duel; In fact the second plate represents just a duel in which the two contenders always use "swords side", the one on the left also has a small shield and the one on the right wields an effective and perfidiously fast double-edged dagger; In the third plate is painted a "naccarino" who plays a cylindrical drum (similar to those spread by the Lanzichenecchi from the fifteenth-sixteenth century) held on the side and beaten with two sticks, the "naccarini" were players of small instruments whose presence was required every time you had to give particular solemnity to a public event. We don't know why the people of Deruta began to work the terracotta and to produce vases and manufactured articles in ceramics but we know with all certainty that already in the Middle Ages the city was known for the production of ceramics of high quality, the first written sources make to date the ceramics of Deruta (Perugia) to 1282. In the Renaissance, they were active to Deruta more than fifty furnaces with which they collaborated artists like the Perugino, the Pinturicchio, and Luca Signorelli. The mastery of the artisans and artists of Deruta ceramics...
