He returned to creating plates and vases in the 1970s, but only as a means of experimenting with materials (particularly stoneware), glazes, and color pigments. The large plate/sculpture we present dates back to around 1978. It is a large decorative stoneware plate with a decorative motif in yellow and brown colored clay applied to a white Zauli base. The effect achieved is similar to that of ceramist Nanni Valentini in his clay-on-paper works from the same period. The plate is large and can be hung thanks to the holes drilled into the back, which are attached to steel cables. A white wooden panel, probably the original, with a hole in the center, is also available, which can be used as a support for hanging the plate on a wall. The plate is signed on the back.
