About the Item

Stunning vintage MCM Fratelli Fanciullacci Elbee Italian Pottery Pitcher and Platter, made in Italy in the late 1950s/60s. This is a beautiful example of MCM Italian ceramic design featuring glossy white spray glaze accented with glossy bands of gold and orange on a black undercoat. The pieces are hand-made, hand-painted, and signed "Elbee Italy" on each underside, along with matching mold and pattern numbers "30" and "261". Item Dimensions: Pitcher: 10" tall x 6" wide x 5" deep Platter: 12.5" diameter x 2" tall Fratelli Fanciullacci is an esteemed Italian ceramics maker with a rich history, known for its distinctive designs and craftsmanship. While detailed historical records of the company are somewhat scarce, the brand has become well-known among collectors and enthusiasts for its unique and varied ceramic styles, often associated with mid-20th-century modern Italian art pottery. A hallmark of Fanciullacci ceramics is textured surfaces, often achieved through techniques like sgraffito (scratching the surface to reveal a different color underneath) and relief decoration. These techniques gave their pieces a distinctive, tactile quality. The company's output was incredibly diverse, ranging from traditional Italian motifs to more contemporary, abstract designs. This variety has made Fanciullacci ceramics highly collectible. Some Fratelli Fanciullacci pieces are marked with the "Elbee" brand. The origin of the "Elbee" name is believed to have been used by Fratelli Fanciullacci as a trade name or possibly for export purposes. The "Elbee" mark is often associated with pieces sold internationally, particularly in the United States. Today, Fratelli Fanciullacci ceramics are highly sought after by collectors, especially those who appreciate mid-century modern design. Their pieces are valued for their artistic quality, unique designs, and role in Italian ceramics' history. mid-century modern, modern ceramics, pottery, Italian ceramics, Italian pottery, fratelli fanciullacci, tableware, tabletop, home accessories, table accessories, art and design, Italian serveware, home decor, mcm, Italian design, ceramic pitcher, ceramic platter, ceramic dish, modern decor
