About the Item

Wonderful abstract ceramic tray or plaque with applied copper by well known midcentury Italian potter, Guido Gambone (1909-1969). Measures: 9 ½ H x 15 W. In excellent condition. Signed Gambone Italy with his donkey motif. Guido Gambone (1909–1969), one of the most important Italian ceramic artist in the mid-20th century, was born in Montella, Avellino in Italy in 1909 and moved with his parents to Vietri in 1927. He started his career at the local Avallone pottery, continued his training at Manifattura Artistica Ceramica Salernitana before moving to the famous I.C.S. (Industria Ceramica Salernitana). He became artistic director at I.C.S. in 1935. Following, he started his own potteries, La Faenzerella in Vietri and later La Tirrena in Florence. He died at the age of sixty, in 1969. Gambone’s work fused painting, primitivism, tradition, modern artistic movements and became enormously influential. Guido Gambone’s pieces from La Faenzaerella (1939-1950) are marked Gambone with a donkey motif and Italy. Most of the pieces produced the first few years at La Tirenna (1950-1967) are signed the same way, i.e. Gambone and the donkey motif. His later work is only signed Gambone Italy.

Instead of having a sharp edge around the circumsference, the edge has been folded over and under creating a soft rim. Signed on the bottom H. Tishler. Condition: Very Good. Two small drilled wholes on either side of the rim for firing purposes (not seem from above). Please look at all images and view our other Tishler enamels’ listings.
