The whimsical and theatrical scene of hand painted Jesters, birds and designs on the front and back of this Italian hallmarked, vintage 1960s glazed ceramic or porcelain bowl is a piece of sculpture in itself. The rich color of blue red against outlines of black on white ceramic make this a conversational bowl, vessel or vase. Very Italian! It is hallmarked H.G. Italy with numbers of 101H8/B/S with a squiggly line. We have tried to do the research and it is very obscure and hard to pinpoint. We know it is a very special ceramic. It is 5.5" high to the top of the bowl not the handles. That is 7" H to the top of the handles. This is quite unusual and of the arena of a great quality. It has come from a private collection of high end vintage...

Red and black ceramic table centerpiece made in Rockabilly style, the colors are strong and decisive, the black has the distinction of having beautiful reflections nacreè (mother of pearl), reflections that unfortunately the photos can not capture, from life are really seductive, the form is nicely undulating, pleasant and very capacious; the centerpiece was produced between 1950 and 1953, by skilled artisans in the area of Vallauris, the "French city of ceramics" in Provence north-east of Cannes, renowned since ancient times for the production of this fascinating material; there were more than 250 production centers, but today very few remain and since the mid-20th century, they are dedicated to the manufacture of contemporary ceramics. The word "Rockabilly" is a combination of "rock and roll" and "hillbilly" (a derogatory term used to define the Appalachian mountain people and, in a generic sense, meant country boor); Rockabilly was a musical genre developed in the early 1950s, it was one of the first forms of rock & roll. It was a fusion of bluegrass, country, boogie-woogie, and jazz, originally from the southern United States, and was played and sung by artists such as Buddy Holly...
