AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Let yourself be captivated by the irresistible sweetness of this artistic ceramic sculpture: a work that blends the elegance of high Italian craftsmanship with the charm of early 20th-century classical illustrations. The goose, portrayed with a graceful retro cap and pastel bow tie, stands with wings partly open inside a finely crafted stylized nest.
Not just a simple ornamental figurine, but a versatile conversation piece that can serve as a catchall tray for the entrance, a boudoir jewelry box, or a decorative centerpiece for country-chic and romantic interiors.
Perfect for those seeking a detail capable of breaking the coldness of contemporary design, bringing a smile to anyone who looks at it.
Item from a private collection.
This marking style (initials of the master/workshop + brush-number) was typical of the renowned Italian ceramic districts of excellence, in particular those from Veneto (Bassano del Grappa and Nove) and Tuscany (Florentine area/Sesto Fiorentino), specialized in figurative ceramics and high-quality giftware for domestic and international markets.
The object was born as a creation modeled by artisans and master decorators of a traditional workshop, clearly inspired by anthropomorphic fairy-tale characters made famous by European children's literature (such as Beatrix Potter).
Good aesthetic condition; see the photograph, which is an integral part of the description. It shows small signs of wear consistent with its age.
Seller's Story
Welcome to our Catawiki store. Our journey in online sales began back in 2004, driven by a clear vision: creating online auctions dedicated to high-value objects.
Today, more than twenty years later, we carry forward that exact same vision. We are proud to have remained a small, family-run business, yet operating with the solidity and scale of major industry professionals: each year, we welcome more than 100 new clients, purchase over 150 lots, and select between 3,000 and 5,000 unique items to offer you.
Our commitment is reflected in everything we do, from the initial find to the final delivery to your doorstep:
• A Purchase with Social Value: Buying from us means securing a great deal while actively supporting the future of young Italian students. We collaborate closely with 3 graphic design and advertising schools in Milan, Bergamo, and Lecco.
We invest our time and expertise to teach these students the secrets of online sales, professional photography, and marketing. By choosing us, you are tangibly contributing to their education and career paths.
• Field Research and Discovery: For years, we have been personally scouting the most remote locations across Lombardy to find unique pieces, rarities, oddities, and mid-century modern design.
• We Invest Our Own Capital: We do not sell on consignment. We invest our own capital upfront to purchase and restore every single item, taking on all the risks ourselves.
• Direct Dealings with No Intermediaries: We manage every single price personally.
This allows us to eliminate third-party costs and ensure you get the best possible profit margin as a buyer or collector.
• Meticulous Restoration and Quality Control: We get our hands dirty. Every item is carefully restored and verified with an obsessive eye for detail before going up for auction.
• Secure and Eco-Friendly Shipping: To prevent inflated shipping costs and ensure indestructible packaging, my wife and I head out almost every evening, often at unusual hours, to collect heavy-duty industrial cardboard from businesses in our neighborhood.
We hand-select only pre-evaluated, ultra-resistant materials to offer you maximum protection at the lowest possible cost.
Choosing our lots means relying on the historic expertise of a family that has lived this passion since 2004, while investing in the next generation. Our schools and students thank you deeply for your trust.
Happy bidding!
