About the Item
Mid-Century Ceramic Wild Boar Sculpture by Guido Gambone (c. 1950s)
This rare and striking ceramic sculpture of a wild boar, crafted by the renowned Italian artist Guido Gambone, dates back to the 1950s. The choice of subject is no coincidence—wild boars, or cinghiale in Italian, are deeply rooted in Italian culture, roaming the countryside and featuring prominently in traditional cuisine, from pasta dishes to sausages.
Gambone's wild boar is a bold tribute to this iconic creature. The sculpture is adorned in a rich, glossy green and brown glaze, standing on a white base accented with turquoise. Solid and weighty, it exudes presence and artistry, making it a piece worthy of a museum collection. The surface has characteristic crackling and some minor wear, yet it remains in overall good condition.
Guido Gambone (1909–1969) is celebrated as one of the most important Italian ceramicists of the 20th century. His work masterfully blended traditional techniques with modern, organic forms, resulting in dynamic, experimental pieces that are now highly sought after. His ceramics are held in esteemed collections worldwide, including the Brooklyn Museum in New York.
This exceptional sculpture bears Gambone’s signature along with his distinctive donkey symbol—an unmistakable mark of one of Italy’s greatest ceramic artists.

Guido Gambone
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.
