About the Item
This charming mid-century Italian ceramic double salt cellar is designed in the shape of a donkey by ICS, attributed to the renowned ceramic artist Guido Gambone or another accomplished artisan of the era. Featuring two hand-painted bowls connected by a sculptural donkey figure, this piece showcases a vibrant yellow, teal, and earthy brown color palette with geometric and organic patterns reminiscent of Italian modernist ceramics.
The hand-glazed surface exhibits a rustic, artisanal quality, with expressive brushwork and textural depth. The donkey's face is particularly striking, with lively painted details and a whimsical character. The two bowls are functional yet decorative, making this a fantastic addition to a collector’s tableware or a statement piece for mid-century modern décor.
This piece exemplifies the playful yet sophisticated aesthetic associated with Guido Gambone’s studio, known for its unique, often animal-inspired ceramics with bold color combinations and raw textures.
A rare and delightful ceramic piece that adds character and charm to any setting!
