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