Elio Schiavon - Wall plate - Ceramic

Charming small wall plaque in glazed ceramic, handmade by Italian ceramicist Elio Schiavon (Arzergrande, 1925 - Tonadico, 2004). Trained at the Nove School of Ceramic Art and later active in Bassano del Grappa and Venice, Schiavon is a recognized mid-century Italian ceramic artisan, whose works are regularly offered at auctions (Capitolium Art, Il Ponte, Aste Boetto) and by galleries specializing in vintage Italian design.
This square-shaped plaque with rounded edges features an abstract motif evoking a stylized village, in vivid colors (yellow, blue, violet, pink) outlined by freehand black lines, characteristic of the artist's personal style. It is equipped with its original bail for wall hanging (cord).
Signed "Schiavon" (monogram) and "Italia" under the base, by hand.
