Zaccagnini - Sculpture, Fagiano - 25 cm - Ceramic, Glaze - 1926

Splendid art sculpture depicting a pheasant, an authentic piece from the historic Ceramiche Zaccagnini workshop (Florence), one of the leading names in 20th-century Italian artistic maiolica.
The bird is modeled with extraordinary naturalistic shaping and entirely hand-decorated under glaze. It stands out for the vibrancy and richness of its polychrome brush-applied glazes (brilliant shades of emerald green, ochre, sienna, and coral red), enhanced by a glossy finish that gives the work remarkable depth and luminosity.
Marks and Details on the Base:
The base bears all the original factory marks, applied by hand in black:
1. The workshop's celebrated graphic monogram, depicting the stylized outline of a mountain (Monte Oliveto in Florence, the company's historic home) crossed by the letter "Z".
2. The model and series code "A. 1926/A" (where the letter "A" denotes the animal-themed art series).
3. The full Zaccagnini signature in cursive.

Very good / Excellent vintage condition. The sculpture is intact and beautifully preserved, with no visible breaks, hairlines, chips, or previous restorations. The colors and glaze retain their original period brilliance. A superb collector's piece.
