About the Item
Pair Italian midcentury Porcelain Figural Dove Boxes, circa 1960s
Italy, circa 1960s
This pair of Italian midcentury porcelain figural dove boxes from the 1960s is a delightful and expressive example of Italian ceramic artistry. The oval-shaped boxes are designed to resemble seated doves, capturing their quiet and serene presence.
The brown enameled lids of the boxes are skillfully crafted in the shape of birds, featuring white eyes and beaks that add a touch of contrast and visual interest. The lids can be lifted to reveal the interior compartments of the boxes, which provide storage space for small items or treasures.
Resting on conforming bases, the boxes exhibit a white background with continuous vertical brown stripe lines. This decorative element adds a sense of movement and rhythm to the overall design. The boxes show design influences reminiscent of Marcello Fantoni, a renowned Italian ceramic artist known for his midcentury creations.
Each box is numbered and marked "Italy," indicating their country of origin and attesting to their quality and craftsmanship. These marks add authenticity and value to the pieces, further confirming their Italian midcentury origins.
The overall aesthetic of these dove boxes is both whimsical and stylish, combining the elegance of Italian design with the charm of nature-inspired motifs. They are not only functional but also decorative, making them a versatile addition to any space or collection.
Whether displayed on a shelf, used as trinket boxes, or appreciated for their artistic value, these Italian midcentury porcelain figural dove boxes are sure to captivate admirers of ceramic art.
