Product description
Italian Alla Moda Relief Pottery Vase in vivid colours and geometrical pattern **Description:** This exquisite vase hails from the celebrated Fratelli Fanciullacci pottery, renowned for their diverse and stylish ceramic creations. Founded in 1862 in Capraia Fiorentina by Raffaello Fanciullacci, the company initially produced utilitarian wares but soon expanded into artistic pottery. By 1911, the company moved operations to Montelupo Fiorentino, becoming a significant player in the Italian ceramics industry. The 1950s and 1960s were a golden era for Fratelli Fanciullacci, marked by innovative designs and vibrant glazes. This period saw contributions from notable designers, including Aldo Londi, who worked at Fanciullacci before his tenure at Bitossi. The vases in this trio exemplify the "Alla Moda" (in fashion) style, characterized by bold relief patterns and rich, colourful finishes. **Historical Significance:** Fratelli Fanciullacci's legacy is a compelling story of resilience and artistic achievement. Despite the devastating flood of the Arno River in 1966, which destroyed much of their inventory and historic molds, the company made a valiant effort to recover. Although they ceased operations in 1988, their works remain highly sought after by collectors today. **Why Collect Fratelli Fanciullacci:** - **Historical Value:** Pieces represent a rich heritage of Italian ceramic artistry. - **Unique Designs:** A wide range of styles that catered to contemporary tastes and trends. - **Collectibility:** Increasingly recognized and valued among collectors for their distinctive and high-quality craftsmanship. **Condition:** These vase is in a good used condition, with no cracks, but a few mini chips, see photos.

"Stylish and colorful, Italian ceramics from the 1950s-70s reflect the vibrant fashions, latest developments in ceramic design, and modern art of the period". - Historical records from the Fratelli Fanciullacci pottery provide insight into their prolific production and significant contributions to mid-century modern ceramics. **Note:** Due to the historical and artistic value, pieces by Fratelli Fanciullacci rarely bear identifying marks, often only stamped with "Italy" and a number. Experienced collectors can recognize their unique style and quality. Own a piece of Italian ceramic history with this rare vase trio from Fratelli Fanciullacci.
