This ceramic Penguin vase is a fascinating and distinctive piece, reflecting the exuberant style of the Art Deco period and the craftsmanship of the Albisola artisans. The vase is made of ceramic, a versatile material that allows for intricate shapes and details. Albisola, a town in northern Italy, was renowned for the production of ceramics in the early 20th century, particularly during the Art Deco era. The vase has a polychrome finish, i.e. it is decorated in several colours. This vibrant colour palette is typical of Art Deco design, which often incorporated bold, contrasting tones to create visually striking pieces. The main feature of this vase is the penguin motif, an extravagant and popular subject in Art Deco design. The penguin figure is arguably stylised and abstract, reflecting the geometric shapes and streamlined aesthetic characteristic of the Art Deco movement. Art Deco ceramics, particularly those from renowned production centres such as Albisola, are highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts of the period. The combination of historical significance, artistic value and aesthetic appeal contributes to the collectability of these pieces. The vase is in excellent overall condition and is signed on the bottom C.A. Italia.
