About This Piece

A magnificent, richly glazed ceramic sculpture, entirely hand-decorated in glazed stoneware, depicting a lady in a full skirt holding an infant. It sits on a black lacquered wooden base and dates to the early 20th century. The sculpture is signed on the back, under the bench on which the woman sits, "Guido Cacciapuoti," handwritten by the artist with a metal pen and incised into the ceramic. The woman's full skirt, richly pleated, is particularly beautiful; the faces of the subjects depicted are wonderful and extremely expressive; and the colors, soft and rich in nuance, are also very beautiful.
Information about the artist and/or manufacturer:
Guido Cacciapuoti, born in Naples in 1892, comes from an ancient family of majolica makers, from whom he learned the secrets of ceramic art. In 1927, he founded "Grès e ceramiche d'arte" in Milan with his brother. A highly talented modeler, he gained recognition for his beautiful sculptures, especially animal subjects. In 1930, due to the premature death of his brother, he became sole owner of the company. The factory immediately enjoyed great success and became internationally renowned, especially for the sculptures created by Guido Cacciapuoti, who died in 1953 and is now considered one of the most important Italian ceramists of the first half of the 20th century.
