This is an original trio of porcelain hands, two white and one black, made between 1960 and 1965 in a specialized workshop in Milan. A mold was used to craft the terracotta hands, and artisans later applied a dipping technique to glaze them. The hands were then fired in a kiln to permanently set the glaze. This trio represents a minimalist and modern design inspired by the 1960s, a time when Italian art and design were heavily influenced by modernism and futuristic styles. As for their functionality, they may have been created as ring or jewelry holders, given the open-hand shape. The presence of a cavity in the palm might also suggest a decorative use, such as small vases. Another possibility is that they were simply meant as decorative pieces, typical of interior design from that era, when sculptural and surreal designs were highly popular. The items are in good condition. Measurements: 8 cm in diameter, 20 cm in height. For all our shipments, we use special packaging materials (wooden crates, styrofoam, etc.) to ensure the highest level of protection and safety for the objects.
