Cup-shaped vase with spherical knob lid and truncated cone base, made of cast ceramic (clay with added kaolin, also known as soft porcelain) with geometric airbrush decorations featuring two small intersecting circles, one green and one red, signed Galvani Pordenone under the base, with catalog number and decoration code.

Useful information for evaluating the item:
From a brief search, we find that the most important auction estimates achieved by pieces made by this manufacturer range from €700 to €7,000, to which auction fees of approximately 25-30% should be added. It should be noted that the Pontian-style decoration applied with an airbrush on our vase is characteristic of the works of Angelo Simonetto, who was one of the leading and most important artists who collaborated with the Galvani factory. A real gem for art lovers and collectors.

Information about the artist and/or manufacturer:
The Galvani ceramics factory in Pordenone was founded in 1811 by Giuseppe Galvani. In 1911, management of the factory passed to Andrea Galvani. Under the artistic direction of Angelo Simonetto, and later in the 1930s with the collaboration of Armando Pizzinato and Roberto Rosati, the factory abandoned traditional production and began to create modernist works, often decorated with airbrush designs using stencils, which soon made it world famous for the beauty and quality of its artistic ceramics, especially in the Futurist style. The style of this manufacturer is very similar, if you like, to the artistic production of Rometti and Pucci. In the last photos, we have also included some historical notes on the manufacturer and the brands used over time.
