Description
Sebastiani Gubbio ‘Bucchero’ Ceramic Pitcher with Gold Decoration, Italy, 1960s. Beautiful sleek and slender matte black mid century ceramic pitcher with hand painted golden decoration. Distinct ‘Bucchero’ ceramic with a very deep and beautiful black colour – famously made in the village of Gubbio in Italy. This pitcher is made by one of the ‘Bucchero’ makers in the village, named Sebastiani. It features a wonderful hand painted golden decoration showing two ladies interacting. The ceramic gets its characteristic black colour through a special process in which the oxygen is removed from the red clay. So no paint or varnish is used. This is a technique that dates back to the Etruscans. Famous makers are Carlo Alberto Rossi – who worked with Gio Ponti – and Elio Cerbella. In wonderful vintage condition.
