CHRITSMAS SPECIAL OFFER 140 €

The size is 43 cm.

Made with earth, water and fire, ceramics are by definition functional to human life. Since the very beginning of ceramic making, though, the need to go beyond the sheer utilitarianism pushed the artist to use clay as a way of expressing ideas, feelings and meanings. During the Renaissance Italian potters achieved the perfect union of function and art that would bring Italian ceramics world wide celebrity. Noble families and wealthy merchants were in competition for the most richly decorated istoriato wall plates, whose subjects were very often derived from religion, myth and history. Simple people certainly could not understand nor afford this kind of traditional Italian ceramic. They mostly used pottery for functional purposes, although here and there some local ceramic trends developed for the community to enjoy. One of the most worth mentioning are the “Arlecchini, Sbandieratore, Cavaliere from Tuscany.
The normal price is € 190 for each with certification of origin
