The artistic ceramics production company "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 relies, among others, on the collaboration of the sculptor Otto Maraini and Giovanni Grande and his wife Ines Panchieri Grande, often resembles the works of the company "Lenci", of which Vacchetti had been artistic director from its founding until 1933, and consists of figures of little women often in fashionable or skimpy clothes.
