The Fanciullacci pottery was founded in 1862 on the small island Capraia, north of Elba, between Corsica and Italy. Around 1911 they moved the factory to Montelupo, this to be able to distribute their wares by rail more easily. Their 1914 catalogue shows more than 1000 different models. Before moving to Bitossi in 1935, Aldo Londi worked for Fanciullacci. The company produced ceramics in many different styles and followed the trends and tastes of the time closely. In 1966 the decision was made to expand and open an additional factory in Florence, which proved to be fatal, the demand for ceramics was stagnating in Europe and the good times were over. The artistic quality was lost and all activity ceased in 1988. Condition Descriptions: Good. Shipped by USPS Priority Mail, UPS or FedEx, based upon market/item considerations.
