About the Item
1980s Italian Pop Art Sculpture of a Purse, Museum Mounted
A striking and possibly one-of-a-kind 1980s Italian Pop Art sculpture, designed as a purse and expertly mounted on a museum stand. This unique work stands 16.5 inches high, 8 inches wide, and 6 inches deep. The sculpture itself measures 12 inches high, 8 inches wide, and 2.5 inches deep, raised on a 6-inch square forged iron base for stability and display.
The purse sculpture is crafted from exotic polished and inlaid coconut shell, featuring a visually dynamic contrast of light and dark tones. A carnelian-colored Bakelite/Celluloid handle with elegant brass mountings adds a sophisticated touch, enhancing its vintage aesthetic. The intricate brass detailing and the rich patina of the materials contribute to its artistic appeal, making it a captivating addition to any collection.
A true collector’s piece, this sculpture merges functional design with avant-garde artistry, ideal for lovers of Italian Pop Art, vintage décor, or museum-quality decorative objects.

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...
