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.
