Armando Testa - Insegna Pubblicitaria Lavazza - Ceramica - Figure - Coppia di figure in ceramica smaltata ispirate a Carmencita e al Caballero – Omaggio a Carosello - Ceramic

Pair of white glazed ceramic figurines, with hand-painted details in black and red, inspired by the famous characters Carmencita and the Misterioso Gentleman, protagonists of the historic Carosello for Café Paulista. The Caballero wears the characteristic wide-brimmed sombrero and the cloak, with black hair and the typical smile. Carmencita sports long black braids and the small red heart on the chest. The design is stylized and cone-shaped, faithful to the graphic aesthetic that has made these characters iconic in Italian advertising. Under the base lies the “Café Paulista” logo and there is a filling hole with stopper. The figures can therefore also be used as a salt shaker and pepper shaker. A collectible and decorative piece for enthusiasts of Italian advertising graphics and Carosello pop culture.
