Carlo Alberto Rossi 'Bucchero' pottery sculpture / pencil holder attributed to Gio Ponti. Mid-20th century, Italy. Manufactured by Carlo Alberto Rossi after a design attributed to Gio Ponti. Very stylistic and elegant. Can be used as a decorative object, or as a handy pencil holder on your desk. The ceramic gets its characteristic black color through a special process in which the oxygen is removed from the red clay. So no paint or varnish is used. This is a technique that dates back to the Etruscans. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
issues arising from misattribution
