In perfect original condition. Sublime and imposing ceramic vase by Desimone with a miraculous fishing decoration, I would say around 1970/1980, we can actually see all around the vase a very lively scene with fishermen, fish, squid ... on the outskirts of a Sicilian village with the Etna volcano on the horizon. As usual, we immediately notice the characteristic design of the Desimone factory, a mix of comics, surrealism, abstraction from the 50s / 60s, and of course and especially the flamboyantly colored enamels where reds, yellows, greens, blues, browns etc. rub shoulders, each more vibrant than the other. Founded in the early 1960s by the creative flair of Giovanni De Simone, the brand "Ceramiche De Simone" immediately established itself in the world of Sicilian and international artistic ceramics thanks to a unique and original style, which has become iconic and inimitable. The authenticity and quality of the brand's products are guaranteed by the experience of the company's team and, even today, the employees and students of Maestro De Simone preserve and transmit the precious legacy of the exclusive tradition of the ceramic school. Desimone is today one of the best Italian ceramists of the 1960/1980 period alongside Gambone, Fantoni etc... In the lineage of French potters such as Capron, Picasso, Picault, Portanier, Innocenti....
