AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Elegant polychrome ceramic sculpture created by the Essevi manufactory on a model attributed to Alessandro Mola (1903-1957), an important Sardinian sculptor and ceramist active at the famous manufactory founded by Sandro Vacchetti.
The work depicts a young woman with a traditional Sardinian headdress, interpreted in the déco taste typical of Essevi production in the Forties. The delicate modeling of the face, the half-closed eyes, and the refined polychrome decoration give the sculpture a strong decorative and collectible value.
Marked and numbered beneath the base.
