A Collection of Eight Anthropomorphic Majolica Attributed to Paolo Condurso, Seminara Italy Circa 1920 - 1949
DEC-1856
A collection of 8 vintage mid-century majolica terra cotta pieces by Paolo Condurso, including vases, candleholders, and pitchers, each hand-modeled, hand-painted, and glazed with expressive anthropomorphic faces. Inspired by the Sicilian tradition of Caltagirone, these mask-like forms carry apotropaic symbolism believed to ward off negative influences and invite good fortune, making them both functional and sculptural accents for eclectic, or folk art interiors. Condition consistent with age and use, with minor glaze wear.
