"Sailboat in the Sky", Art Deco Covered Box.

$ 4,200
  • Description
    An extraordinary example of high style Art Deco design by one of Italy's masters in the 1930s -- Angelo Simonetto -- this covered, oval ceramic box depicts a golden barc or sailboat floating in a deep blue sky filled with purple-tinged clouds. Simonetto designed this box for the Galvani ceramic works in Pordenone, Italy, and his original painting for this box is held by the Museo civico d'arte di Pordenone at the Palazzo Ricchieri. Along with Gio Ponti, Guido Andlovitz and others, Simonetto brought a freshness and modern stylization to ceramic design, moving Italy away from traditional, staid decoration going back decades or centuries. The piece is well marked on the bottom.
