A pair of rare and very stylish plaques from the "Commedia dell'Arte" series, circa 1955 by Piero Fornasetti. Each depicts a character from the Commedia Dell'arte (an Italian professional theatre troupe, that was popular throughout Europe between the 16th and 18th ceturies). Decorated in colour and with the name of the character to the side, 'La Cecca' and 'Stenterello'. The black outlines are printed underlaze and the beautiful colours are hand painted and heat set over the glaze. Similar plaques from the series by Fornasetti of the mid 1950s were glued with a lining printed with his logo and usually framed. These, which were later lined with brown paper on verso, appears to have lost their original labels and thus are unsigned.
Dimensions: 6" x 6" x 0.25" (15.2cm x 15.2cm x 6mm).
