AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Rare turquoise ceramic lidded pinecone-topped box by Zaccagnini, 1960s
Splendid and rare Italian artisanal storage box with a ceramic lid, produced by the historic Ugo Zaccagnini & Figli (Florence) manufactory in the Mid-Century Modern period (circa the 1960s/70s).
The piece stands out for its refined geometric relief design with meander motifs and a faux central keyhole plate. The finish combines a brilliant turquoise glaze with a craquelé effect and brown areas in the raw, porous clay. The lid is crowned by an elegant pinecone-shaped knob, a symbol of prosperity and a typical detail of Italian ceramic tradition.
The item is entirely hand-finished and bears on the base the original factory mark with the distinctive incised “Z” and the word “ITALY.” A vintage accent piece with a strong visual impact, perfectly fitting the stylistic line of the famous “Rimini Blue.”
Details and Dimensions:
• Manufacturer: Ugo Zaccagnini & Figli (Florence, Italy)
• Era: Circa 1960 - 1970
• Material: Glazed ceramic and clay
• Height: 20 cm
• Width: 9 cm
• Depth: 9 cm
Auction in excellent vintage condition. The turquoise glaze maintains a brilliant sheen and the interior is perfectly clean. The lid is original and intact. No restoration, very light signs of time that certify its authenticity.
