AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Rare yellow vase from the 1950s, designed by Ambrogio Pozzi for the Franco Pozzi ceramic works in Gallarate.
Truncated-cone ceramic vase with a yellow glaze and alternating horizontal stripes.
Based on designs by G. Gariboldi and G. Ponti for Richard Ginori.
The Ceramica Franco Pozzi works were founded in 1942 in Bolladello, with the aim of competing with the leading international companies in the sector. After the factory moved to Gallarate between 1952 and 1953, technical and artistic direction was entrusted to Ambrogio, the founder’s youngest son. He studied at the Faenza Institute of Art while continuing his university studies in chemistry. The family company’s great achievement was its ability to combine outstanding technical expertise and artisanal quality with serial, industrial production, embracing both international design—especially Nordic and Scandinavian influences—and up-to-date, original artistic production.
Ambrogio Pozzi trained in close contact with Faenza’s ceramic tradition, where he discovered his vocation for ceramic design. For his father’s company, Ceramica Franco Pozzi of Gallarate, and in collaboration with foreign manufacturers such as Rosenthal and Thomas, he designed objects that have become part of the history of international design. These include the Containers series for the 13th Milan Triennale in 1964, the Compact dinner service, Duo for Rosenthal, Cono for Pierre Cardin, and the onboard service for Alitalia, designed with Joe Colombo in 1970.
An extraordinary, very rare design piece.
Dimensions: 20 × 20.5 cm
Excellent condition.
Seller's Story
My name is Riccardo. I recently graduated in Art History from the University of Florence and I am passionate about porcelain. From tableware to artistic vases, from figurines to tea and coffee sets, I am fascinated by the mastery and creativity of great artisans and designers who manage to shape this fragile material, transforming a rough mass into masterpieces with a story to tell. During my years at university I began to become interested in the history of nineteenth- and twentieth-century tableware; today, every day, I deal with prestigious porcelain pieces that always have something to say to me and to those who purchase them. I love that every day I can discover more about the objects I find while traveling around Italy, always learning something new. I always try to convey to my clients this passion I have for the objects I sell, certain that each of them has a story to tell: that of the creator, that of the one who preserved it, and that of the person who will give it a new life.
