About the Item

Two beautiful and unique lidded boxes with amazing lava-like glaze. Made by Guido Gambone in Florence, Italy, 1950s. The box with brown and yellow glaze is in excellent condition.

Museum-worth masterpieces by one of the most influential ceramicists of the 20th century. Guido Gambone is one of the most important and influential Italian ceramic artists in the mid 20th century. He was born in Montella, Avellino in Italy in 1909, and moved with his parents to Vietri in 1927. He started his career at the local Avallone pottery, continued his training at Manifattura Artistica Ceramica Salernitana before moving to the famous I.C.S. (Industria Ceramica Salernitana). He became artistic director at I.C.S. in 1935. Following, he started his potteries, La Faenzerella in Vietri and later La Tirrena in Florence. He died at the age of sixty, in 1969. Gambone’s work fused painting, primitivism, tradition and modern artistic movements and became enormously influential.
