Mario Mesini
Vaso in ceramica a lustro di manifattura italiana della metà del Novecento

1953-1956

About the Item

Vaso in ceramica a doppia bocca, bianco con interno nero e e nero con interno bianco (37 x 28 x 28 cm). L'effetto opalescente è dovuto alla tecnica "a lustro", un processo che si avvale di una preparazione di sali metallici di rame o argento, mescolati con aceto, ocra e argilla che viene applicata sulla superficie dopo che l'oggetto è già stato cotto e smaltato. Una seconda cottura in forno ad atmosfera riducente, porta sali ridotti a metalli a fondersi in nanoparticelle, creando questo aspetto iridescente. Sotto il piede del vaso esternamente di color nero è riportata l'iscrizione VI.Bi, un laboratorio di ceramica di Torino molto rinomato attivo per vent'anni dal 1952 al 1972. Questa tipologia di design nello specifico risale alla collaborazione con l'artista Mario Mesini, durata 3 anni dal 1953 al 1956.

Alan Wallwork Vessel Vase Pottery Sculpture TOTEM White Brown Terracotta
Located in Eversholt, Bedfordshire
Alan Wallwork (1931-2019): Organic landscape sculptural vessel, 1960-1965 -Exhibiting the articulated, inventive, organic qualities & tactility of Wallwork’s early oeuvre for which he is best known - This sculptural landscape vessel has been handmade by coiling, slabbing and shaping the clay. The totemic form and pitted and pierced surfaces draw on the abstract landscape and tactility of elements in nature. matte glazes and oxides have been skillfully used to enhance the rich textures of the surfaces and the organic aesthetic. - Wallwork is one of the great individualists in British pottery, developing an archetypal language that echoed some of the wider artistic obsessions of that period, what the art critic Herbert Read called the “postwar ferment” of sculptural activity. - This piece was made during 1960-1965, the time that Wallwork was sharing a studio in Greenwich with Bernard Rooke and comes from a private collection along with a waterscape vase by Rooke and a bottle by Robert Fournier...
