Signed "Pucci Umbertide Made in Italy" and catalog number "81," made by famous Italian ceramist Domenico Pucci. The vase can be dated around the mid-1900s, between 1950 and 1960.

Information on artist and/or manufacture:
The "Società Ceramiche Pucci," founded by engineer Domenico Pucci in 1947 in Umbertide, in the province of Perugia, was born from a rib of the more famous Umbertide ceramic factory "Rometti," taken over by Pucci himself in 1943. Engineer Domenico Pucci, who was born in Umbertide in 1903 and had already been a majority partner in "Rometti" ceramics since 1934, totally took over the firm, located on Via Spalato in Umbertide, in 1943, liquidating Settimio and Aspromonte Rometti and Dante Baldelli.
The factory continued its previous production for five years while also maintaining the "Rometti" brand name, and in 1947 it took the name "Ceramiche Pucci".

Final thoughts on the object:
The vase is of a very high artistic quality, with compact and extremely smooth and regular glaze, so much so that it looks as if the vase is made of porcelain. Beautiful are the two large white bands enriched by the numerous stylized multicolored flowers, all made by airbrush, which detach from the main body of the vase colored in the classic, beautiful orange color, characteristic of the manufacture of Rometti first and Pucci later.
