About the Item
Carlo Alberto Rossi 'Bucchero' pottery sculpture / pencil holder attributed to Giò Ponti. Mid-20th century, Italy. Manufactured by Carlo Alberto Rossi after a design attributed to Giò Ponti. Very stylistic and elegant. Can be used as a decorative object, or as a handy pencil holder on your desk. 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' heads by C. A. Rossi available.
