AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A distinctive advertising sculpture in polychrome ceramic depicting the famous character that is the symbol of the Café Paulista brand, characterized by a large black mustache, a green hat, and a tie decorated with lively geometric patterns.
Made by the Italian manufacturer La Fenice, as evidenced by the mark on the base, this figure blends the advertising flair of the twentieth century with the tradition of Italian artistic ceramics.
The slender form and rich decoration give it a strong visual impact, making it ideal for collectors of vintage advertising, signage, and barware.
The piece features a glossy glaze and polychrome decoration under glass, with particular attention to the facial features and clothing.
