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...

'Bucchero' Ceramic Bust Italian, 1950s
By Gio Ponti
Located in Meer, VAN
'Bucchero' female head / bust attributed to Giò Ponti and Carlo Alberto Rossi. Mid 20th century, Italy.
This is a rare and marvelous little mid century ceramic head / bust 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' pieces by Gubbio artists C. A. Rossi, Sebastiani and Elio Cerbella...
