Description
A rare and iconic decorative ceramic bowl in plum enameled ceramic by Italian sculptor Fausto Melotti. On bottom of the bowl is the artist's 7 point signature marking (see photos for reference). Made in Italy, 1956. Throughout the 1940s and 50s, Melotti worked almost exclusively in ceramics and terracotta, and continued to participate in exhibitions at the new post-war Milan Triennale. He won a number of national and international prizes for sculpture, culminating in a major retrospective at the Forte Belvedere in Florence in 1981. A unique collector's item for 20th century enthusiasts. From a private collection. The dimensions are 5.5" W x 5" D x 2" H. A very delicate item and is still in very good vintage condition.
