About the Item

Large Ceramic sculpture by Pier Claudio Pantieri (1927-2022), Italy 1950s. Pantieri graduated from the G. Ballardini Art Institute in Faenza, under the guidance of Angelo Biancini. He began his artistic activity as a ceramist, created works initially inspired by 'Picassian primitivist' style, experimenting with new techniques and languages. He kept working all of his life from his hometown Forlì, the city just next the famous city of ceramics of Faenza. He could combine both passions and talent in his work; the work of a sculptor and that of a painter. We can see this back in this particular work, first of all a magnificent and unique outspoken and elegant flame shape is created balancing on a small foot providing a floating canvas to the wonderful deep colored surface and the detailed lines drawings. Besides the unique shape the hand of the sculptor can be seen back in the artistic details such as the two small holes on the top and the decisions to create a small base that almost make the sculpture looks like flowing over in the plinth. Pantieri was able to create paintings like this on his sculptures by using the Majolica technique. Signed at the bottom. The work remains in an excellent original condition.

Giacomo Onestini ceramic sculpture Italy 1970
By Giacomo Onestini
Located in Roosendaal, Noord Brabant
Beautiful ceramic sculpture designed by Giacomo Onestini made in his own atelier in Italy in 1970. It has a combination of matte and shiny glazed surfaces. The back and sides of the sculpture have a textured surface with shades of gray, green, and sometimes turquoise. On the front, there's a carved-out section that's smooth and glazed with red and gold hues. It's a very appealing and intriguing piece. You can find the artist's signature, "Onestini," on the side of the sculpture. This piece was created in the artist's personal studio. Very nice large sized, heavy piece and in excellent condition. After graduating as a master ceramist, Onestini moved to San Marino where he found employment at the "Marmaca" ceramics factory. Around the end of the 1950s, he moved to Salerno and began working with the "Ernestine...
