information on artist and/or manufacture:
the manufactory of mga, was founded in 1903 by renowned ceramist giuseppe mazzotti. This manufactory boasts the collaboration of many important artists, among whom, around the end of the 1920s, we also find nicolaj diulgheroff to whom, in our opinion, the authorship of this small work of art should be attributed. Nicolaj diulgheroff, a bulgarian painter, designer and architect who was mainly connected with futurism, moved permanently to italy in 1926. He began at this time his collaboration with mga for which he produced small masterpieces all of which were listed at auction at very high prices. In the last photos we have put historical notions about the manufacture of mga and biographical notions about nicolaj diulgheroff, for those who would like to learn more.
