A fantastic vintage authentic Italian Multi-coloured Earthenware Florentine art pottery bowl - a striking mid-century modernist piece, decorated with an abstract drip glaze pattern. It utilizes a bright colour palette to stunning effect with multi-coloured bobbles on a white stone and mottle-grey background adding to the unique, almost alien-like form of the piece. A contrasting viridian green and alizarin crimson drip down the inner surface of the bowl, giving an impression of a moon crater.
An interesting take on atomic-age design!
Marked on the base with 'L.24' and 'Made in Italy' but sadly no signature; the collecting community have not been able to identify the maker of this piece, although some people claim it to be Fratelli.
Perfect condition - no damage, only faint glaze crackle.

**I do use Photoshop to process images, but only to improve tonal balance and colour accuracy. I spend a long time carefully matching the colour with the object in-hand as colour the raw colour in digital photographs is usually misrepresentative. I do not alter edges, enhance, or remove blemishes on the object, although I may do this on the background.
