Featured C.A. Rossi Gubbio Italy pottery vase

This was at the mega-thrift for a buck - someone had let their kid cover it in beads with a hot glue gun (yikes) - got the beads off and most of the glue without more than a little damage to the paint on the neck. About 9" tall. Here's some pics - Is/was Mr. Rossi a known maker?

Aaron, I believe his name may be Carlo Alberto Rossi (if it's the right C.A. Rossi) and this is probably a question for Walter!

There's some basic info about Gubbio pottery here:

And this blurb is from a Horchow online catalog listing:

About Caff Ceramiche
Caff Ceramiche is based in Gubbio, an amazing medieval town near Perugia, in the Umbria region of Italy. The company's story began in 1920 thanks to Carlo Alberto Rossi, a skillful researcher and a talented student of the most difficult and ancient ceramic techniques. Today the company is headed by Rossi's grandson who utilizes advanced techniques and innovative materials to continue the family's strong tradition of producing quality handcrafted Italian dinnerware.

Whoa........then a good find.......& better repair.....or fix !!!

 

SBSVC is correct. The artist was Carlo Alberto Rossi. He opened his studio in 1932 along with his brother, Antonio. His ceramics were quite typical of other Umbrian pottery and particularly that of Maestro Giorgio’s here Carlo originally worked and apprenticed. Rossi’s most desirable works were those inspired by the Etruscan Bucchero form. His workshop closed in the 1950’s but he continued to do some commissioned works until his death in 1970. Your example is typical of his commercial wares sold mostly to the tourist trade. Its a nice piece probably dating to the 1950’s or 60’s.

 

Thank you Walter for confirming and informing on this piece - much appreciated!

 

Thank you so much SB - I had done a bit of googling but hadn't found this - I very much appreciate the help.
