Two-Handled Jug, Fabulous, Unique Mid-Century Sculptural Piece by Gambone
About the Item
Both modern sculpture and practical object, this stunning Mid-Century jug with a curving basket handle and a knob opposite the spout was created by one of the era's greatest artists, Guido Gambone. The artist's work was astonishingly modern, and yet the simple, spherical form and lion's head on the spout suggest old, primitive influences. Gorgeously glazed in soft yellow and warm grey, the vase displays the crystalline, roughly-textured glazes and smudged lines that are characteristic of the artist's best work. The piece is signed on the bottom.

Guido Gambone
Guido Gambone is one of the most important and influential Italian ceramic artists in the mid 20th century. He 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 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 and modern artistic movements and became enormously influential.
