A ceramic catchall by Rometti Umbertide, dating from 1930–1940, modelled as a woodland scene with a tree stump and a small pool.
Description from the seller
A fascinating fragment of Italian ceramic history from the twentieth century. This sculptural catch-all tray signed by the renowned Ceramiche Rometti of Umbertide (Perugia) is not a mere accessory, but a true artistic diorama that encapsulates the Italian naturalist aesthetics of the era.
The piece reinterprets with extraordinary plasticity the woodland theme, shaping a gnarled tree trunk that overlooks a small pool of gilded water, surrounded by rocks and relief details that evoke moss. Rometti's mastery is expressed in glossy and vibrant glazes—from the burnished brown of the bark to the bright green of the vegetation—capable of capturing light and yielding a magnificent visual depth.
Born in 1927, the Rometti manufactory marked the milestones of Italian ceramic design, collaborating with the greatest masters of the century. This object, icon of the organic strand and of the "faux wood" production launched in the 1930s, is perfect as an Accent piece on a desk, in a refined entrance hall, or within a collection of art ceramics.
