  • Italian Ceramic Saucers "Bucchero" by C.A. Rossi Gio Ponti Style Gubbio
    Located in Prato, Tuscany
    We kindly suggest you read the whole description, because with it we try to give you detailed technical and historical information to guarantee the authenticity of our objects. Iconic ceramic "Buccheri" saucers with a small base (2 pieces); the “bucchero” is a type of black and shiny pottery, often fine and very light, produced by the Etruscans to make domestic furnishings and decorative objects; the "bucchero" was used in Etruria from the second quarter of the 7th century BC-the first half of the 5th century BC; the black monochrome integral is the most evident feature of this type of pottery and the coloring was obtained through a particular firing; the term "bucchero" comes from the Castilian "bùcaro", with which they defined some vases arrived from South America more or less in the same period of the first findings in Etruscan archaeological sites. In the "bucchero" is black both the mixture and the surface, which is shiny and compact. The color is not obtained by painting but thanks to a special firing process in the absence of oxygen, which prevents the chemical transformations of oxidation that make it take on the typical orange coloring to the iron ores contained in the clay. Our "Buccheri" saucers were made by Carlo Alberto Rossi (1903-1970) in his workshop in Via Savelli Della Porta in the historic center of Gubbio (Italy) and bear the artist's signature on the bottom; the laboratory "Buccheri Antonio...
