ProfessionalProduct description
Ceramic figurine by Ceramiche Mollica, depicting a lady with a pair of Fox Terrier dogs, made in the 1940s. Diameter 16 cm, Diameter 15 cm, height 30 cm. Ceramiche Mollica represents one of the most important and long-standing Neapolitan ceramic manufacturing companies. Founded in 1842 by Giovanni Mollica, this dynasty of ceramists has left an indelible mark on the Italian art scene, producing works of great beauty and refinement. The origin of the Mollica manufactory dates back to the mid-19th century, when Giovanni Mollica, son of a ceramist from the Real Fabbrica Ferdinandea and Giustiniani, decided to start his own business. The workshop, initially located in Via Santa Lucia in Naples, stood out for its quality, especially in its red terracotta figures and models. Under the guidance of Giovanni's sons, Ciro, Achille, and Alessandro, the Mollica manufactory achieved national renown by the end of the 19th century, becoming one of the most important in Southern Italy. The figures often represent portraits of historical figures or scenes from daily life, made with great realism and attention to detail. Mollica majolica pieces are characterized by a rich and brilliant color palette, achieved through the use of high-quality pigments. The craftsmanship always prioritizes traditional ceramic techniques, such as hand modeling and brush decoration. Mollica's works show the influence of various artistic currents, from classicism to neoclassicism, and even Art Nouveau.
