Mediterranean House Auction

A centerpiece that immediately brings color, warmth, and a Mediterranean atmosphere.
A large Italian ceramic composition hand-painted, with a rich assortment of fully rounded fruits — lemons, pears, apples and banana — surrounded by leaves and gathered under an elegant braided handle.
The strong sculptural presence, the saturated colors, and the deliberately tactile workmanship recall the Italian decorative tradition of the mid-twentieth century and make it a perfect object for a kitchen, a sideboard, or a table with a Mediterranean taste.
Unsigned.
Overall very good condition, with slight signs of age and a small crack on the bottom, visible in the photographs, which does not compromise stability or usability.

Un centrotavola che porta subito colore, calore e atmosfera mediterranea.
Grande composizione italiana in ceramica dipinta a mano, con ricco assortimento di frutti modellati a tutto tondo — limoni, pere, mele e banana — circondati da foglie e raccolti sotto un elegante manico intrecciato.
La forte presenza scultorea, i colori pieni e la lavorazione volutamente materica richiamano la tradizione decorativa italiana del secondo Novecento e ne fanno un oggetto perfetto per una cucina, una credenza o una tavola dal gusto mediterraneo.
Non firmato. Conservazione complessivamente molto buona, con lievi segni del tempo e una leggera incrinatura sul fondo, visibile nelle fotografie, che non compromette stabilità né integrità d’uso.
