Modern Porcelain Breadstick Holster Server Platter Rometti Ceramics 1950s, Italy

About the Item

Rometti Italy midcentury porcelain breadstick holster server platter. Hand painted figurative scene in orange and cream inside, green marbled exterior, swooping metal handle with yellow dot feet. Scale of figures and handle relative to central holster, gentle lifted angle of lipstick shaped center along with juxtaposition of green and orange are a testament to the artist’s mastery of the aesthetic of modernism in 1950s, Italy which, relative to its more austere, and in some cases antiseptic American modern counterpart, retained a foundation of expressiveness, whimsy and warmth that would serve to inspire Italian Postmodern masterpieces of the 1970s and 1980s.

Guido Gambone Green Snake Vase, 1950s, Mid-Century Modern Ceramic Vessel, Italy
By Guido Gambone
Located in Brooklyn, NY
Guido Gambone green snake vase, 1950s, Mid-Century Modern ceramic vessel, Italy. Guido Gambone (Italian, 1909 - 1969) Green and white snake design ceramic vase. Signed (Signature and donkey) on bottom. Stunning piece with gorgeous, rare green glaze and elegant lines that are elegantly accentuated by the snake that curls around the waist and body of the vessel. Museum-worth masterpiece by one of the most influential ceramicists of the 20th century. Dimensions: 12" H; Provenance: Collection of John 'Parker' Prindle, Jr., Boston, MA. Gambone's unique style is a combination of ancestral ceramic techniques and Etruscan or abstract decorations composed of primary and secondary colors. Ne fused traditional ceramic methods with amorphous forms that echoed equally the art of the past and of his modern day. His dynamic objects, in which he often experimented with glazes and patterns, garnered great popularity and today are treasured holdings in important private and museums collections around the globe. The year 1950 also marked the showcase of one of Gambone’s collaborative works at a group exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum in New York, and the following year Gambone enjoyed his first solo showing at the Galleria Il Milione in Milan. By the end of the decade, Gambone had achieved international acclaim for his pieces. He upheld his dedication to his work until 1967, when the La Tirrena...
