AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This magnificent vase is a signed creation by Santucci Deruta, a historic Deruta (Umbria) workshop that has been active and renowned, especially in the mid-twentieth century, for its production of high-quality artistic ceramics. The piece features several distinctive characteristics of the Santucci style:
Design and Form: It is an ornamental vase with volute (or scroll) handles, a complex and elaborate shape typical of the Deruta tradition.
Decoration: It is characterized by a refined central small bird motif, surrounded by floral tendrils and volutes. This "flat" painting style is often associated with collections inspired by the theme of love or reinterpretations of Renaissance taste (such as the Raffaellesco style).
Chromatism: The decoration is executed on an elegant black background, a color choice that highlights the warm colors (ochre, terracotta and white) of the artisanal brushes.
Era: Pieces from this manufactory are generally dated between the 1940s and the 1970s. Similar objects are often signed and numbered on the underside of the base. Deruta ceramics are famous worldwide for the uniqueness of each single piece, entirely hand-decorated according to techniques handed down from the Renaissance.
