A Rare Alfredo Santarelli Luster-Glazed Double-Handled Urn, Circa 1915. Signed To Underside 'AS' For Alfredo Santarelli (Italian 1874-1957) Majolica lustre-glazed urn with serpent handles; professional repair to lip height: 11.5" width: 9" depth: 7" link: https://www.epocasf.com/node/11583/ Alfredo Santarelli was born in Gualdo Tadino in 1874, and is one of the most important Italian Ceramic Artists of the 20th century. His talent in drawing and his mastery in the tin glazing technique (lusterware) won him a large number of golden medals in International and Italian ceramic exhibitions. His excellent portraits and classic subjects are prized collectors’ items but he also interpreted Islamic, Liberty and Art Deco designs and shapes with great originality. Santarelli was very much intrigued by the Visual Arts of the Past. The pieces he owes his fame to were inspired by Egyptian, Etruscan, Classic, Gothic, Hispano-Moresque, Renaissance, Neoclassic and Pre-Raphaelite models. He set up his own studio in 1899 and immediately qualified as one of the most talented potters in Umbria. Only a few years later, he was invited by the founder of the Ceramics Museum in Deruta to join the newly born Pottery School, whose mission was to revive the local ceramic tradition, that had been almost completely lost in the previous century. Known as "The Professor" thanks to his studies at the Academy of Fine Arts in Perugia, Santarelli was the first Italian ceramic artist to sign his works regularly. Alfredo Santarelli died in 1957 . . . . . . . . #lustrewar #ceramics #urn #majolica #lustreglaze #glazedceramics #pottery #santarelli #alfredosantarelli #italianceramics #italianpottery #vintageceramics #artdeco #prerahaelite #sf #interiordesign #Sanfrancisco #homedecor #luxury #interiors #designanddecoration #vintage #retro #20thcentury #interiordesignideas #midcentury #artdeco #holidaygifts #holiday2019 (at Epoca) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5eBDE5J8qS/?igshid=9tuxbi4i5r19
