Depicting Leonardo da Vinci's self-portrait, this splendid amphora belongs to the renowned “Etruria” collection from the Montopoli factory, known for its artistic quality and refined decoration. Probably dating to the second half of the 20th century, it is a rare piece and difficult to find on the market.
Montopoli pieces are distinguished by the use of the refined technique of scratching and painting on slip under glaze, subsequently finished with an aging patina and careful waxing. This artisanal process gives the pieces a unique depth of color and texture, with surfaces that recall the charm of ancient Etruscan ceramics.
The result is an object with an authentic character and unmistakable style, perfect for collectors and those wishing to enrich their spaces with a decorative art piece of great aesthetic and cultural value. See less
