Item description:Sculpture depicting a lying ibex, made of stoneware, clay slightly softened with kaolin, then glazed, entirely decorated by hand, subsequently glazed with third fire firing, created by the famous ceramist of Neapolitan origins, but working in Milan, Guido Cacciapuoti, signed with nib directly onto the ceramic mixture by the artist. The sculpture can be dated to the first decades of the 20th century, around 1920-1930.Useful information for the evaluation of the object:In the last photos, we have put some of the auction results obtained by Cacciapuoti, ranging from a minimum of €500, for the smallest objects, up to estimates of €3500-5000, the photo with the highest auction result achieved by a pair of scalar fish with a large wooden base which reached the remarkable sum of 19,000 euros (22,800 including auction commissions of 30%). All to give an idea of the value of Cacciapuoti ceramics.Final thoughts on the subject:Zeer bijzonder is het gebruik van de kleur blauw in zijn verschillende tinten, samen met wit, voor de decoratie van een dier dat normaal gesproken in de natuur in verschillende tinten oker en bruin voorkomt. Het beeld krijgt zo een werkelijk interessante helderheid.Information on artist and/or manufacturer:Guido Cacciapuoti, born in Naples on 11 August 1892, belongs to 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 very talented modeller, he stands out for his beautiful sculptures. In 1930, due to the premature death of his brother, he remained the sole owner of the company. The factory immediately enjoyed great success and became internationally famous, especially for the sculptures created by Guido Cacciapuoti who died in 1953, now considered one of the most important Italian ceramists of the first half of the 20th century. In the last photos, we have put some biographical notes in Italian language, of which this is a concise translation.
