AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Clelia Bertetti was born in 1932, and after completing her work experience at the famous manufacturer 'Lenci', which lasted about five years during which she held the role of head of the retouching department, she decided to open an artistic ceramics workshop named 'Le Bertetti' in Turin.
The manufactory, whose initial logo consisted of the letters LeB, specialized in the mass production of high-quality objects of notable elegance, made mainly in earthenware and terracotta, often by casting.
In addition to mass production, the factory's workshops also produced intriguing one-of-a-kind pieces, often by Clelia Bertetti herself. These unique pieces contributed significantly to the manufactory's artistic offering.
In 1942, Clelia Bertetti left the artistic direction of the manufactory to devote herself exclusively to sculpture.
Within production at the manufactory, different objects often bore a production number. In particular, ceramics with a number under 100 are generally attributed to the founder of the company.
The statue is in excellent condition.
