Pair of hand-painted ceramic emptying vases
lenci
signed at base
origin turin
period 1930s
mark the lenci manufactory was founded in turin in 1919 on the initiative of elena könig and enrico scavini . Initially dedicated to the production of cloth dolls, it became in the 1920s and 1930s one of the finest italian factories of artistic ceramics , famous for its innovative style and elegant forms. Lenci ceramics, handmade and painted in bright colors, were distinguished by a modern language, close to the twentieth century and art deco , with an often ironic and sophisticated stroke. Many sculptors and artists collaborated with the manufacture, including sandrino sandri, felice tosalli, and mario sturani , creating sinuous female figures, stylized animals, child scenes, and religious subjects. The pieces, intended for a bourgeois and cosmopolitan public, quickly became collector's items, exported throughout europe and the americas. Lenci represents a unique case of the encounter between craftsmanship, design and art , capable of translating the spirit of the times into objects for use and decoration that still testify to the vitality of italian creativity in the early 20th century.
