He brings together traditional Italian Majolica pottery stylings with a modern twist that was influenced by Italian Modern Artist Modigliani (1884-1920). Beautiful glossy creamy white rooster with a bright red crest sits on top of a matte glaze faux wood base. Clean lines and the blank eyes of a Modigliani make this rooster particularly special. It bears the mark for Ugo Zaccagnini used between 1935-1955. This would have been the time that Urbano Zaccagnini was master designer for the Zaccagnini brand. He certainly would have been influenced by the modern Italian artist --and friend of Picasso-- whose blank eyes were his signature. This is not just a pottery rooster figurine. This is a true piece of collectible art.

Marked with its design or mould number: A.2017/1/A. A very rare piece that was made in limited quantities. less
