Carlo Alberto Rossi Pair of 'Bucchero' Female Heads Attributed to Giò Ponti
About the Item
Carlo Alberto Rossi pair of 'Bucchero' female heads attributed to Giò Ponti. Mid-20th century, Italy.
This is a rare and marvelous pair of little mid-century ceramic heads by Carlo Alberto Rossi after a design attributed to Giò Ponti. Very stylistic and elegant.
The ceramic gets its characteristic black color through a special process in which the oxygen is removed from the red clay. So no paint or varnish is used. This is a technique that dates back to the Etruscans. Many works by Carlo Alberto Rossi and his brother – with whom he collaborated – have the characteristic black color.
The Rossi brothers collaborated with the famous architect and designer Gio Ponti. Several of his designs – including this head – were executed in the Rossi’s studio. The collaboration was a great success. Some of the works were also shown at the IX Triennale of Milan in 1951.
Please note we have a selection of 'Bucchero' heads by C. A. Rossi available.
