Item description:

A stunning, glazed ceramic cachepot, entirely hand-shaped on a wheel and hand-decorated with floral decorations and numerous white dots on a light sienna background, a decoration strongly reminiscent of the Futurist vases of the Roman Secession. Signed under the base with the L'Aquila di Pisa factory mark, it was created by its founder Cesare Cantavalli, a ceramist born in 1800 who trained in Civita Castellana in the early decades of the 20th century. This is why the Roman influence is so evident despite the vase's being made in Pisa. The vase dates to the very early decades of the 20th century; the patina covering the object is excellent, perfectly consistent with our dating.

Information on the artist and/or manufacturer:

L'Aquila Italiana is an artistic ceramics manufacturer founded by Cesare Cantavalli in 1916, producing tableware and everyday ceramics. Cesare Contavalli was an artist from Faenza born in 1862. After years of apprenticeship in his hometown, he moved to Civita Castellana, in the province of Viterbo, where he worked for several local ceramic manufacturers. In 1918, Cesare Contavalli died, and the factory passed into the hands of his sons Augusto and Tito. From the mid-1930s, production diversified, and interesting Art Deco ceramics also emerged from the factory's kilns. Operating at a reduced volume during World War II, the factory suffered severe damage in the 1949 flood, and in 1951 was forced to relinquish its position. In the last two photos, we've provided additional information about the factory and its founder for those interested in learning more.

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.
