This pedestal centerpiece bowl, from the renowned Ernan Studio in Abisola, Italy, is hand painted in a colorful traditional style featuring two cherubs. The cherub on the left holds a flute, the one on the right a lute or guitar, as they rest next to a small pool of water. The hand painted back stamp reads Ernan Abisola and del'a mano, "of the hand." The bowl is 13 inches in diameter and 3.5 inches from tabletop to rim, and it is in excellent condition, no chips, no cracks.
Studio Ernan Design was founded in 1974 by ceramic artists Ernesto Canepa and Anna Maria Pacetti. Both artists take their inspiration from Ivos Pacino Pacetti, the founder of the 'Casa dell'Arte' in 1920, during the golden age of Albisola ceramics. Pacetti eventually became involved in the Italian Futurism movement, rejecting the past and embracing technology and the future. He took part in several national futurism exhibitions, together with other artists, such as the founder of Futurism, F. T. Marinetti.
Today the Ernan Design, in the style of that golden age in Abisola, creates unique pieces of Italian pottery, signature pieces, panels, sculptures, and monuments. The studio collaborates with famous contemporary artists who work in a space reserved for them in the factory. As you pass through the entrance to the studio, you’ll notice the doorway itself is a stunning work of ceramic art. less
