Fratelli Fanciullacci

Fratelli Fanciullacci
1862-1988

Eye candy for you this morning. Italian mid century modern ewer. What is this glaze? I love it.

Yesterday I worked at the ArtsWorks Artisan Centre in Hiawassee. It's been a while since I worked all day long other than pottery work. Today I'm going by the Blairsville Sorghum Festival to check it out and also by the Georgia Mountain Fall Festival to see how things are selling. I work at the festival on Monday and Tuesday so I'll be worn out by Wednesday. Up next a disappointment in greenware so stay tuned. Thanks for reading and for all your comments.

  3. Sill me, I thought the name was a potter's name and that he lived to be 126! Then realized it's pottery company, duh.
    That is an interesting glaze.

  9. Hi Lori, thanks, I just read on retro pottery net that he purchased the ewer and said it was an orange peel glaze, which I have heard of but do not know how it is achieved, some of the glazes from the 50s are so cool.
