Sebastiani Gubbio 'Bucchero' Ceramic Pitcher with Gold Decoration, Italy, 1960s
Located in Meer, VAN
Sebastiani Gubbio 'Bucchero' Ceramic Pitcher with Gold Decoration, Italy, 1960s.
Beautiful sleek and slender matte black mid century ceramic pitcher with hand painted golden decoration. Distinct 'Bucchero' ceramic with a very deep and beautiful black color - famously made in the village of Gubbio in Italy. This pitcher is made by one of the 'Bucchero' makers in the village, named Sebastiani.
It features a wonderful hand painted golden decoration showing two ladies interacting. 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. Famous makers are Carlo Alberto Rossi - who worked with Gio Ponti - and Elio Cerbella...

The collection includes three objects with different shapes and functions. Mia’s decisive impression is given by the contrast created between the soft lines of the lower part and the use, for the upper part, of a strongly architectural material that is a perforated metal sheet.
A divergence that is further highlighted by the marked squaring of the decoration chosen for the sheet, gracefully polished by the treatment in two finishes, brass or nickel, while the lower part is painted with opaque colors but with strong materiality.

When a painting’s maker isn't a well-known artist or is completely anonymous, factors like the visual appeal, historical significance, previous ownership and condition will determine the value of a painting. A certified appraiser or experienced art dealer can evaluate your piece using these criteria and provide you with an estimated value for your art. Shop a wide range of paintings on 1stDibs.
