Iconic ceramic "Buccheri" saucers with a small base (2 pieces); the “bucchero” is a type of black and shiny pottery, often fine and very light, produced by the Etruscans to make domestic furnishings and decorative objects; the "bucchero" was used in Etruria from the second quarter of the 7th century BC-the first half of the 5th century BC; the black monochrome integral is the most evident feature of this type of pottery and the coloring was obtained through a particular firing; the term "bucchero" comes from the Castilian "bùcaro", with which they defined some vases arrived from South America more or less in the same period of the first findings in Etruscan archaeological sites. In the "bucchero" is black both the mixture and the surface, which is shiny and compact. The color is not obtained by painting but thanks to a special firing process in the absence of oxygen, which prevents the chemical transformations of oxidation that make it take on the typical orange coloring to the iron ores contained in the clay. Our "Buccheri" saucers were made by Carlo Alberto Rossi (1903-1970) in his workshop in Via Savelli Della Porta in the historic center of Gubbio (Italy) and bear the artist's signature on the bottom; the laboratory "Buccheri Antonio Rossi" draws its origins from the innovative activities in the field of ceramics and in the technique of "bucchero" in particular, which characterized the manufacture "Fratelli Rossi di Gubbio", started by Carlo Alberto and Antonio Maria Rossi in 1932. The search for new balances and purity of form has always distinguished the activity of this manufactory; some of the various collections that characterize the work of the workshop include models by the famous architect Gio Ponti (1891-1979), expressly requested by Carlo Alberto in the 1950s. Our saucers produced between 1950 and 1955, are a work born in the period of this important collaboration and are inspired by the style of the famous Italian architect; the two elegant and delicate subjects are inspired by Hellenistic models, they have been made with graffito decorations, pure gold leaves and polished. The saucers, produced with an ancient and unique technique, combine classicism and design, an example of exquisite beauty and superb quality. Many works from this workshop are found in various museums around the world and have received several national and international awards. On the edge of the saucer with the two figures, there is a perfect repair of the time (see photo).
