Description
This ceramic penguin vase would be a charming and distinctive piece, reflecting the exuberant style of the Art Deco period and the craftsmanship of Albisola ceramic artisans. The vase is crafted from ceramic, a versatile material that allows for intricate shaping and detailing. Albisola, a town in northern Italy, was renowned for its ceramics production during the early 20th century, particularly during the Art Deco era. The vase features a polychrome finish, meaning it is decorated with multiple colors. This vibrant color palette is typical of Art Deco design, which often incorporated bold and contrasting hues to create visually striking pieces. The standout feature of this vase is its penguin motif, a whimsical and popular subject in Art Deco design. The penguin figure is likely stylized and abstracted, reflecting the geometric forms and streamlined aesthetic characteristic of the Art Deco movement. Art Deco ceramics, particularly those from renowned production centers like Albisola, are highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts of the period. The combination of historical significance, artistic merit, and aesthetic appeal contributes to the collectibility of such pieces. The vase is in very good condition overall and signed on the bottom C.A. Italy
