Matching Trio of a Bakelite plaque and a pair of Salts, Italian Fontanini, mid C20th
A pair of Bakelite table salt dishes in the form of two cherubs wearing a quiver and holding a bow and arrow and standing on shell with a rococo style plinth at the edge and three supporting feet underneath. Both pieces are marked 'DEPOSE 186 ITALY' with a small spider mark in addition. This signifies the Fontanini workshop which made a variety of small polychrome resin figures in a rather charming rococo (the term itself derives from the French 'rocaille' which means 'shell work') style of which these are an excellent example. The small spider emblem is often seen on their pieces. Dating is probably to the 1950s. These are offered together with a small wall plaque in the form of a cherub's head, similarly marked, but with the number 67, and of the same period, the complementary set providing an amusingly decorative trio.| Size: | Salts : Ht 12cm, W (max) 6.5cm, D (max) 7cm Plaque : |
