Laureck Italy" engraved with a metal pen on the ceramic mixture before firing, dating back to the first decades of the twentieth century. Final considerations on the object:
The artistic quality of the work is very high, made entirely by hand, without a mold, a unique piece, truly amazing, each single flower was modeled by hand by the sculptor, a true work of art in terracotta. We are faced with a very particular piece, it is not a multiple ceramic for the purpose of essentially selling, here we are faced with a true work of art, cared for in the smallest details, of a superior level of beauty, with a very old and beautiful patina that makes it even more fascinating. Information on the artist and/or manufacturer:
G. Launeck is certainly not a very well-known artist, in fact we were unable to find any biographical notes on him or the manufacturer for which he worked. He will certainly have worked closely with the manufacturer of Guido Cacciapuoti in Milan and Luigi Fabris in Nove, in the Veneto, to whose works this sculpture seems closest. In our opinion it was a piece that the artist had created to participate in some important exhibition, such as the Venice Biennale or the Milan Triennale. This piece has an attribution mark,
