Large covered ewer in Italian ceramic, attributed to Fratelli Fanciullacci, characterized by a sculptural silhouette and a stylized horse decor. Its slender olive green body features a deliberately textured surface, typical of certain post-war Italian modernist productions. The decor combines black horses with free graphics, silver-grey highlights, and geometric friezes outlined in red and white. The composition is particularly expressive: the long, voluted black handle echoes the raised spout, while the domed lid repeats the same contrasts of materials and colors. The piece has a strong sculptural presence, halfway between a utilitarian object and a decorative piece. The underside bears the inscription "ITALY" as well as an old handwritten label "1366/1". By its surface treatment, stylized animal decor, palette, and formal vocabulary, this piece can be attributed to the Fratelli Fanciullacci manufacture, active in Montelupo Fiorentino and particularly renowned for its modernist ceramics with graphic and figurative decors. Several productions from the manufacture show similar stylistic characteristics. In the absence of a nominative signature or currently documented model reference, this attribution remains probable but not formally certified. Height: 31 cm Width: 19 cm Depth: 14 cm Weight: 1 kg Good general vintage condition, without cracks or breaks. Slight traces of use, occasional wear of the decor and small marks under the foot, consistent with the age of the piece. A graphic and expressive Italian ceramic, emblematic of Mid-Century aesthetics, ideal on a sideboard, a console or in a collection dedicated to Italian design from the 1950s-1970s.
