About the Item
Antique Lion's Head in Polychrome and Cast Iron on Stand
Just a wonderful antique lion’s head in heavy cast iron on a later stand. The lion most probably used to be a door ornament or door knocker - hence the two holes on either side of the lion’s mouth. Beautiful naive and detailed artifact with a very nice and decorative appearance. Great polychrome colors and fading, a perfect patina.
Wonderful on a sideboard or on display in a collection of curiosities.
The stand and mounting is very well done, completely in line with the patina and soul of the object itself.

'Bucchero' Ceramic Bust Italian, 1950s
By Gio Ponti
Located in Meer, VAN
'Bucchero' female head / bust attributed to Giò Ponti and Carlo Alberto Rossi. Mid 20th century, Italy.
This is a rare and marvelous little mid century ceramic head / bust by Carlo Alberto Rossi after a design attributed to Giò Ponti. Very stylistic and elegant.
The ceramic gets its characteristic black color through a special process in which the oxygen is removed from the red clay. So no paint or varnish is used. This is a technique that dates back to the Etruscans. Many works by Carlo Alberto Rossi and his brother – with whom he collaborated – have the characteristic black color.
The Rossi brothers collaborated with the famous architect and designer Gio Ponti. Several of his designs – including this head – were executed in the Rossi’s studio. The collaboration was a great success. Some of the works were also shown at the IX Triennale of Milan in 1951.
Please note we have a selection of 'Bucchero' pieces by Gubbio artists C. A. Rossi, Sebastiani and Elio Cerbella...
