Guido Gambone, ceramic decanter, Italy 1960

Guido gambone (june 27, 1909, montella, italy–1969, florence) is one of the most prominent italian ceramicists of the 20th century. Guido gambone defined a unique style in which he fused traditional ceramic methods with amorphous forms that echoed equally the art of the past and of his modern day. His dynamic objects, in which he often experimented with glazes and patterns, garnered great popularity and today are treasured holdings in private and museums collections - here we have a fine example of his work from the early 1960's - a stunning and exceptional quality liquor decanter - mid century design with a beautiful raised thick lava glaze in turquoise, white and blue - the gambone "donkey" on this example is cleverly glazed to a lower section of the decanter along with further script to a further lower side as pictured - very good condition as can be seen in detailed photographs - size of this highly desirable piece of guido gambone's work is 20 cm in height (including stopper) X 7.5 cm at sides of base - buy from a trusted and established trader - founded 1996 - will be exceptionally well protected and professionally packaged and shipped via a blue chip courier - signed and tracked door to door.
