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.
WOW! That's a beauty!
ReplyDeleteHi Suzi, thanks, what do you think about that glaze? a type of lava or crawling but it's so uniform.
ReplyDeletevery pebbly like sand, yummy
ReplyDeleteSill me, I thought the name was a potter's name and that he lived to be 126! Then realized it's pottery company, duh.
ReplyDeleteThat is an interesting glaze.
That is quite a piece; beautiful. Catherine
ReplyDeleteHi Michele, thanks, oh I thought it was the potter's name as well, silly me I didn't even realize he lived that long. Ha.
ReplyDeleteHi Catherine, thanks, I love that surface, wondering how it was achieved.
Wow - what a beautiful piece of work! Amazing.
ReplyDeleteHi Keith, thanks, I just love mid century work and the Italians has some great artists.
ReplyDeleteThe form is beautiful and I love the glaze too. I couldn’t begin to guess about it.
ReplyDeleteHi 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.
