Manifattura di signa . Italy, early 20th century origin italy period early 20th century mark manifattura di signa the artistic ceramics factory 'manifattura di signa' was founded in signa, in the province of florence, in 1895 by camillo bondi, in the premises of the factory 'fornaci di signa' owned by his brother angelo. In 1900, at the paris expo, the factory exhibited numerous plastic terracottas, suitable for outdoor decoration, with a special patination that made their appearance better and their resistance to atmospheric agents greater. In 1901 it was present at the genoa exposition, and in the following years it participated in numerous exhibitions abroad. Production, focused mainly on the faithful reproduction of classical and renaissance models, during the 1920s also included majolica in the deco style. In 1904 the artistic direction of the firm was entrusted to oreste calzolari. In 1911 partners massimo bondi, adolfo lattes and marco and giorgio olivetti joined the firm, and it was transformed into società anonima cooperativa, the name under which it remained active until 1940. In the early 1920s the manufactory added the production of artistic terracottas to its traditional production. By the mid-1920s the manufactory employed more than 150 workers and artists and was equipped with modern electrical equipment. Collaborators include renato bertelli, bruno catarzi, giovanni prini, giuseppe santelli, ettore ferrari, giulio cantalamessa, adolf von hildebrand, leopold anzengruber and raffaello romanelli. In 1933 he exhibited some elegant sculptures made by italo griselli and large garden vases in the novecento style at the triennale d'arte in milan, enjoying considerable success. In the same years the young faenza ceramicist g. Battista casanova collaborated with the factory. In 1937 the firm presented at the milan triennale, along with some sculptures made by italo griselli, some large vases in the novecentista style. In the years immediately preceding world war ii the firm became the property of the partners fantacci and montecchi, and after the war ownership passed into the hands of osvaldo coisson who, with the help of countess pallavicini, managed to continue production, now reconverted to tableware and cookware, until 1952. Of the years after world war ii, and of this productive reconversion, we remember the collaboration of the technicians, coming from 'richard-ginori' vecchioni, giorgetti and pavesi, as well as that of the very young apprentice model maker and trainer pietro lazzeri.
