Information on artist and/or manufacturer:
Rometti's artistic manufactory was founded by Settimio Rometti and his nephew Aspromonte in 1927 in Umbertide. Rometti is considered one of the greatest exponents of artistic ceramics, Art Deco and Italian Futurist, of the twentieth century, his manufacture stands out internationally for the quality and beauty of its ceramic creations, boasts the collaboration of many important artists such as Dante Baldelli or Corrado Cagli and many notable auction results. In the last photos there are historical notes of the manufacture.
Useful information for the evaluation of the object:
We also have put some of its numerous auction results, with rather high estimates for many and many objects, take a good look at all the photos, this alone to make you realize the importance and value of Settimio Rometti's ceramics. Note the gravy boat in the first photo of the auction results, which is quite similar in size and type of object to our ashtray and estimated at €350-400.

OUR COMMERCIAL POLICY
My name is Gabriele, an art lover, since I was very young I started collecting paintings, porcelain, bronzes, glass, ceramics etc. and over time I gained vast experience and a very refined taste in recognizing beauty and then, little by little, I also transferred it to my son Nicolò. Now I have decided, with the help of my son, to sell my entire collection, created in over 35 years of research and selection of beauty, quality and art and then perhaps continue with a real buying and selling activity. We have chosen to sell online and therefore we have adapted to the prices of the online art market, always trying to offer extremely competitive prices compared to the competition. Very often our prices are lower than what we could achieve by taking the objects to auction houses, but selling at auction is an extremely long process and does not produce any customers for us, so we prefer to earn less, but aim to create a excellent clientele over time, earning more on the quantity than on a higher profit on the single piece, which we could obtain by selling it in auction houses.

SHIPPING WORLDWIDE - RETURN ALWAYS ACCEPTED
.
The cost of packaging is also calculated in the shipping costand everything has increased by 19% because both ebay and paypal also take fees on the shipping cost

OUR SHIPMENTS:
.Our shipments cost a little more than the average, but they are all shipments with professional packaging. Double box with a lot of bubble wrap around the object and a lot of soft material in the large cavities on all sides between the two boxes. This means that the package is much larger and heavier and therefore the cost of shipping increases, not to mention all the work necessary to carry out a similar packaging and the cost of the various materials used.
