1950s Neoclassical White Crackled Ceramic Italian Bust of Antinoo
About the Item
The image shows a Neoclassical ceramic bust of Antinoo (Antinous), a celebrated figure from classical antiquity. This particular bust, dating from the 1950s, is crafted in a white ceramic with a crackled finish, giving it an aged and textured appearance. The styling and features capture the classical beauty and idealized form typical of Neoclassical representations, echoing the aesthetics of ancient Greek and Roman sculpture.
Antinoo was known for his association with Emperor Hadrian and has been a popular subject in art, symbolizing beauty and youth. The bust portrays a calm, downward gaze and finely detailed hair, which is styled in soft, curled locks. The ceramic finish, along with the crackling, adds a sense of vintage charm, enhancing its classical look while retaining a distinctly mid-century Italian art style. The combination of historical influence with mid-20th century craftsmanship gives this piece a unique collectible appeal.

'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...
