"Frieze of Goats, " Important 1930s Pitcher by I.C.S., Likely by Gambone

About the Item

This stunning, important pitcher by Industria Ceramica Salernita (I.C.S.), featuring a parade of goats in bubbly, volcanic glazes, was likely designed in the late 1930s when Guido Gambone was the artistic director of the company. I.C.S. was the most important of several 20th century ceramic art studios in Campania, and was founded in 1927 by Max Malamerson, a German artist. Located in Vietri Sul Mar, I.C.S. promulgated a new form of ceramic art that brought together folk themes with modern art, much as Picasso did two decades later in Vallauris, France. Here, the goats are expressed in beautiful burnt Sienna and charcoal glazes on an ivory ground.
