Amba - Relief glazed ceramic plaque - Madonna - 25.5 x...

Splendid and refined rectangular ceramic plaque formed by slip-casting, with a high-relief depiction of the Virgin Mary, a superb example of Turin's outstanding craftsmanship from the Art Deco period. The reverse clearly bears the factory mark of AMBA Torino (monogram inscribed in a diamond), a renowned Turin imitator that shared artisans, motifs and techniques with the famous parent house Lenci. The piece stands out for the gentle features of the face, captured in a posture of deep contemplation, and for the vibrant color contrast of the glossy blue glaze of the veil, enriched by a halo with a golden shading. The craftsmanship under the display case testifies to the high technical and artistic level of Piedmontese production in the first half of the twentieth century. A magnificent and complete work for a collection. • Manifattura: AMBA Torino (Epigono Lenci) • Marchio: Present on the back (embossed in relief in the diamond) • Materiale: Terraglia forte smaltata in policromia • Epoca: Circa 1930 - 1940 • Stile: Art Déco / Arte Sacra Italiana del '900 Dimensioni e Peso • Altezza: 34,5 cm • Larghezza: 25,5 cm • Spessore massimo (incluso rilievo): Circa 4,5 cm • Spessore della base: Circa 2 cm
