DESCRIPTION:

Beautiful ceramic majolicated vase in the shape of a jug, made by the famous Italian artist and painter Mario Sironi (1885-1961) in 1955. Signed and dated under the base. Made with a very particular technique, with a very hard opaque enamelling, similar to vases made with lava rock. Decorated with silhouettes of horses engraved on the ceramic mixture on the main body of the jug, and the houses on the neck. In addition to the dark, opaque, lava finish we also have, here and there, an enamelling made with green enamel, on the main body of the vase, and blue inside the mouth and on the handle. The shape is also unique, never seen in any jug of any style and manufacture.

Useful information for the evaluation of the object:

So this is not a simple vase but a work of art by an important Italian artist who boasts numerous auction results with very high prices. As you can see from the last photos, the highest results for oils are: 700,000 euros, 580,000, 520,000 etc. and 325 thousand euros, 80 thousand etc. for the sculptures. All prices to which 25-30% of the auction fees must be added. Consider that the sculpture of a small horse just 12 cm high, even made in plaster, has reached the remarkable price of 4,400 euros more expenses. Last consideration should be made on the signature. The vase is signed and dated 1955 underglaze on the bottom, and the signature is clearly handmade. This differs a little from the signature that can be seen on art price, the most widespread one of Mario Sironi, but this, in my opinion, poses a lot in favor of the authenticity of the vase. In fact, all art experts know that every artist usually signs in a certain way, but, every now and then, the signature does not come to him as always, this is because it is made by hand, impulse and every time is different. Only an artist can afford to sign immediately and, perhaps, if he gets the signature slightly different from the usual, he doesn't care. A forger would certainly copy the most normal and usual signature and certainly not the rarest or most unusual, so to speak "bad", pass the term to me, because it is made by hand and on impulse. As proof of what I am saying, I did a little research on the paintings that went to the auction and whose photos can be found on Artprice, and I saw two with a signature very similar to the one on our vase, you can see them at the last photos. Obviously I haven't seen them all, only the oils are more than 1400 on artprice, so surely there will be many others with a signature similar to the one on the jar. Obviously the fact remains that we do not have any documents that authenticate the work, but if we had them I would say that the vase would be worth from 60 to 80 thousand euros, plus 30% of auction fees would be paid from a minimum of 80 thousand to over 100,000. EUR.

Final thoughts on the subject:

Indeed we must consider that here we are not faced with a simple ceramic vase, of any famous manufacture or not, important or not, here we are faced with a unique piece, made directly by the artist, all by hand, without a mold. This can be clearly seen from the irregularities of the vase, which in fact is not at all symmetrical because it was not made with a mold, but entirely by hand.

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 cost, and 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.
