This 14.75" t. figurine is an important work by Ronzan Ceramics, an Italian concern founded by one of the chief Art Deco era designers for Lenci. This example is monumental in height and surely depicts the Queen of Heaven, as Mary the Madonna is shown standing atop a celestial orb, with both the heavens and her garment studded with gilt stars. There is a tiny representation of a cloud at the very base of the figure. The marks are shown as #7 on this website: www.ceramics.it/marchi/ronzan_en.html. The website claims that such marks were used in the town of Bassano between 1949 and 1980, when Giuseppe Ronzano ran the firm himself. No nicks, chips, hairlines, or repairs. Exceptional condition! |
