Information about the artist and/or manufacturer:
The "Galvani" artistic ceramics factory in Pordenone was founded in 1811 by Giuseppe Galvani. In 1911, management of the factory passed to Andrea Galvani. Starting in the early 1920s, under the artistic direction of Angelo Simonetto, the factory abandoned traditional production and began to create modernist works, often decorated with airbrush designs using stencils. The factory won important artistic awards over the years until its definitive closure in 2000. Galvani's factory boasts numerous auction results, with some pieces fetching several thousand euros.
