Mark painted under the base "Essevi Made in Italy P.R. 18 - 2 - 41 Torino". Dimensions: Height 23 cm Length 23 cm Depth 12 cm In good condition. The manufacture for the production of artistic ceramics "Essevi" was founded in 1934 by the painter, ceramist and designer Sandro Vacchetti in partnership with the Turin ceramist Nello Franchini, both former employees of the Turin ceramic manufacturer "Lenci". The company's production, which makes use of, among others, the collaboration of the sculptor Otto Maraini and Giovanni Grande and his wife Ines Panchieri Grande, often echoes the works of the company "Lenci", of which Vacchetti had been artistic director from its foundation until 1933, and consists of figures of women often in fashionable or skimpy dresses.
