Italian oval dish decorated with a fisherman, S.IC.A. Vicenza, mid C20th
A ceramic dish of shallow oval form decorated in a colourful and abstract style with a fisherman with a net over his shoulder and holding a trident tipped spear, standing amidst baskets of fish on a paved bank and looking out towards shoals of fish in the water beyond, the reverse plain with marks in green ‘84 22’ ‘ITALY’.There are similar plates found, all marked ‘Italy’ to the reverse and some with the lettering ‘SICA’ on the front. This stands for the ‘Società Italiana Ceramica Artistica’ which was founded in Nove, in the province of Vicenza, by G. Battista Cogo, Giovanni Grappiglia, Stefano Guzzo, and Angelo Perin in 1946 and concentrated on the production of modernist domestic earthenware. The style of decoration here and the bright colourings used are typical of the 1950s and this plate most likely dates to that time. There is a naif charm here which is most attractive and this decorative piece could also be used today for serving at the dinner table.
