The artistic ceramic production factory "Essevi" was founded in 1934 by the painter, ceramicist and designer Sandro Vacchetti in partnership with the Turin ceramicist Nello Franchini, both former employees of the Turin ceramic factory "Lenci".
The company's production, which makes use, among others, of collaboration with the sculptor Otto Maraini and Giovanni Grande and his wife Ines Panchieri Grande, often follows the works of the company "Lenci", of which Vacchetti had been artistic director from its foundation until 1933, and is made up of figures of women often in fashionable or skimpy clothes.
