All to give an idea of the value of the objects created by the artist, considered one of the most important in the hard-paste porcelain sector of the second half of the 20th century.Final thoughts on the object:This fabulous sculpture is rather large and heavy, made with very high quality porcelain, rich in feldspars, which allowed the rich vitrification in the second firing at 1400 degrees. Its main beauty lies precisely in the caricatural style in which the couple is portrayed, also note the high artistic quality of the sculpture, with attention to the most minute details, the faces, the hands, the fingers, the bottle that comes out of the pocket, the folds of the clothes or the expressiveness of the faces. Beautiful sculpture, collectible.Information on the artist and/or manufacturer: Giuseppe Cappé is one of the most important figures in the Italian porcelain scene of the second half of the 20th century. He was born in 1921, trained in the Ipa and King porcelain factory in Capodimonte and in 1959 opened the "Cappè artistic porcelain" factory where he created numerous models with two strands, a classic strand with subjects taken from Greek mythology mainly in white porcelain and details in pure gold, and a second with completely original modern subjects, always realist but with its own style tending towards the ironic, almost always caricatural, however, with a touch of sweetness and melancholy. In the last photo, under this description, we have put biographical notes on the artist for those who want to find out more.
