Lenci, "Gallo combattente," Polychrome Ceramic, design by Vacchetti Sandro, Turin, 1930s
Polychrome ceramic sculpture from the Lenci manufacture, made in Turin around the 1930s, based on a design by Vacchetti Sandro (1889 - 1974)
Figure of rooster in painted pouring earthenware with polychrome decoration.
The rooster designed by Vacchetti is a mixture of fantasy and reality: it combines natural elements with abstract patterns in the feathers, giving it an ornamental quality, while the colors and details of the legs and eyes are realistic. There are many variants of this piece: the one under consideration can be found in Lenci's merchandise catalog from 1933 to 1935
