In this work we find the image of the Buddha and several pomegranates, symbolizing fertility. The choice of combining objects and materials of different nature becomes an unmistakable feature of his style. A taste for the intrinsic qualities of different materials, specifically chosen for their characteristics of gloss transparency and sphericity, not least, the optical precision with which the different surfaces are rendered. Croatto creates images where reality is transformed into a magical and suspended atmosphere. Bruno Croatto (Trieste 1875-Rome 1948), painter from Trieste, he studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich. After the First World War, he came close to "Magic Realism". In 1925 he moved to Rome where he remained until his death. His home/studio is frequented by an elite audience that is also often the protagonist of his portraits. His still lifes embellished with fabrics, jewels and objects from the Far East are glimpses of the bourgeois living rooms of the time. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
