(up to 10 Kg) The ceramics of Gubbio Some documents from the archives of Gubbio date the work of the ceramic masters back to the year 1300. The medieval testimonies show an ancient majolica with geometric decorations or plant motifs in green and brown. The fame of the city's ceramics is closely linked to the ceramic master Giorgio Andreoli, known as Mastro Giorgio, who came to Gubbio in 1489. He came from Intra on Lake Maggiore. The art of using brilliant colours, which Master Giorgio undoubtedly mastered best, made Iguinese ceramics famous: gold, silver, green, but above all a deep ruby red. It was precisely this shade of red that the great master introduced as an innovation, distinguishing his ceramics from those of Deruta, which, in the same years, emphasised the two-tone colour scheme with blue and gold. Plates, albarelli, bowls and vases are creations of Giorgio Andreoli's workshop, but the short-footed plate became the predominant object of his production around 1530. In addition to the colours orange, blue, yellow and green, the new technique was used for the 'istruciato' painting and for many other decorations (arabesques, palm trees, grotesques, trophies and garlands). After a long period of recession, ceramic production resumed in the second half of the 19th century as part of a cultural movement that swept through Umbria with the aim of reviving this Renaissance tradition. The first experiences of Aldo Ajó, whose style was followed by pupils and imitators, Baffoni, Cavicchi, Faravelli, Monarchi, Notari, the Rossi brothers..., date back to the beginning of the 20th century. In addition to the production of Riverbero majolica, the Iguinese ceramists also followed other paths, such as the production of buccheri, first glazed and then engraved or decorated with polychrome enamel or gold, or ceramics inspired by the Middle Ages, in which the colour cobalt blue predominates.

Sebastiani Gubbio 'Bucchero' Ceramic Pitcher with Gold Decoration, Italy, 1960s. Beautiful sleek and slender matte black mid century ceramic pitcher with hand painted golden decoration.
