While the shape is distinctly Mattucci’s own, the painterly glaze reflects the influence of Guido Gambone and the ceramic tradition he created in Florence. In short, it is an engaging studio piece with strong visual presence. In good overall condition. Maker's mark on the underside including production date of 28th May, 1960.
