Item description:
A stunning, glazed and vitrified ceramic vase, entirely hand-modeled on a lathe, then glazed and decorated by hand. Made in the early 20th century, it is signed under the base with his initial "Z" and the place of production "Italy" by the renowned ceramist Ugo Zaccagnini. Note the quality of the full-bodied, thick blue glaze, which is gently applied to the vase without covering it entirely. Also noteworthy is the acid-treated glaze, which features some areas that are more worn than others, and finally, the transverse brown shading. A truly artistic vase, with a striking effect. Very heavy, with an extremely thick ceramic biscuit.
Useful information for the evaluation of the object:
In the last few photos, we've featured some of Ugo Zaccagnini's highest auction results, with high estimates of €3,000-4,000 for a single ceramic piece. These are starting prices, prices that could rise during the auction and to which a 25-30% buyer's premium should always be added. Furthermore, in our online searches, we've found several Zaccagnini pieces, including large ceramic vases and lamp bases, offered on 1stDibs for over €4,000, up to over €7,000 for large pairs of vases. These figures provide a general idea of ​​the importance of this celebrated Italian sculptor. Finally, in our online searches, we found a ceramic bowl with a red glaze, very similar in artistic workmanship, smaller than our vase, 24 cm tall compared to ours (almost 30 cm), and six cm in volume is a considerable amount. It's listed on 1stDibs for €1,500, titled "Zaccagnini Italian Design Red Ceramic Circular Decorative Bowl, 1960s."
Information on artist and/or manufacturer:
The "Ugo Zaccagnini & Figli" ceramic factory was founded in Sesto Fiorentino in 1905 by Ugo Zaccagnini, born in 1868 and a former employee of Richard-Ginori. Over the years, Ugo Zaccagnini introduced his five children, Urbano, Pietro, Prisco, Adele, and Enrichetta, to the art of ceramics, and they presented some of the factory's works at numerous important exhibitions, including several editions of the Milan Triennale and the Florence Artisans' Exhibition. In the last two photos we have included biographical information on Ugo Zaccagnini and historical information on the factory he founded with the brands used, including the one present under the base of our vase.

OUR COMMERCIAL POLICY
Aware that we operate in the eBay market, our prices are often lower than the prices at which very similar objects are offered on other online sales platforms, the prices at which they are offered by art galleries in cities such as Rome, New York or London and also the best auction results achieved by similar objects, which, overall, can give an indication of the value of the object, while lower auction results or sales at low prices, by inexperienced sellers who do not know the real value of the object, should, in our opinion, be considered as a stroke of luck for the buyer rather than an indication of the value of the object. The price we ask is always the lowest possible considering how much was paid for the object and the eBay commissions (for the sale, payment and any currency exchange: from a minimum of 15% to a maximum of 21%, depending on the country in which the object was sold) because we prefer to retain many customers by earning less on the single object, focusing on quantity.

For each object there may be multiple advertisements in different countries: USA, Italy, France, United Kingdom, etc. Any price differences are due only to changes in the exchange rate of the various currencies between when we made the advertisement and when you see it.

SHIPPING WORLDWIDE - RETURN ALWAYS ACCEPTED
The cost of packaging is also calculated in the shipping cost, and everything has increased by 19% because both ebay and paypal also take fees on the shipping cost.

OUR SHIPMENTS:
.Our shipments cost a little more than the average, but they are all shipments with professional packaging. Double box with a lot of bubble wrap around the object and a lot of soft material in the large cavities on all sides between the two boxes. This means that the package is much larger and heavier and therefore the cost of shipping increases, not to mention all the work necessary to carry out a similar packaging and the cost of the various materials used.
