Mid-Century Modern Italian Art Pottery Candle Holder, c. 1960s

Story

Post-war Italy saw a creative explosion in the Tuscany region, where centuries-old ceramic traditions were reinvented for the modern international market.

Maker / Origin

While the specific studio is not signed, the numbering and style are highly consistent with the workshops of Fratelli Fanciullacci or Alvino Bagni.

Condition & Value

The piece shows characteristic wear consistent with age, including some minor glaze thinning on the sharpest edges of the relief. The 'distressed' look of the white glaze is intentional and part of the original design. No major chips or cracks are visible in the photos, which is excellent for ceramics of this era.
