Vintage UNMARKED --Italian E. Tezza UNSigned genre Sculpture Figurine a young courting couple riding an old car~ Artist Signed ~ handmade, handpainted ~ unmarked - but is by Palladio Original Italy
Please refer to the photos for the measurements; Whimsical and very cute! Scarce large sized Genre art sculpture seldom seen for sale. The sculpture is of a young courting couple in a car. All original. This is a rare vintage sculpture, I didn\'t find any marks or signatures or labels on it, but it is done by an artist Emilio Tezza and is from Italy. It is in great condition - as shown. There is a little roughness on the sculpture - like on all other sculptures I have seen by this artist - that\'s I believe is original. Great condition, no chipped or broken pieces, or any repairs, all original. I believe there was a wood base at some point that is no longer there, but can\'t be too sure if it even ever had one. The sale is for one sculpture ONLY. However, I do have an entire collection of sculptures - large groups Genre pieces by E. Tezza - listed separately on my other sales- shown on the very last photo; So, please check my other sales if interested in other figurines by Emilio Tezza.
More information on the artist and the Figurine From Italy
Emilio Tezza was born in Vicenza in 1937. He studied art in Rome, Florence and Vicenza. He has worked in several media-painting, bronze and in ceramic sculpture. He has been designated a \"Master Craftsman\" in Italy, a rare honor. Each Tezza figurine is signed and numbered. No molds are used, each model is individually crafted, and all differ in some way.
A collection of porcelain figurines, unusual both in appearance and technique, is attracting art connoisseurs to the pavilion of the Artisans of Italy on the International Plaza.
The figures, made by hand without molds or inner frames, have a brooding, sadly humor-out quality to them. Their spidery elongated figures are vaguely reminiscent of El Greco. Their mood is Gothic. Their colors, by a rare process, run together to give a fluid life-like appearance to the characters they portray.
E. Tezza had to work against time as he slowly build up each figure, starting with the feet and gradually working up to the head, with its separate strands of ruffled ceramic hair.
The porcelain, which hardens if allowed to stand, is applied in quick slashes by the artist\'s fingers. The colors, as many as 25 for each figurine, are applied separately between firings but in such a fashion that when the figure is complete, green runs into blue runs into purple. In conventional porcelain figures, most of which are made by use of molds, the color of the face, the garment and the body are as sharply defined as the parts of the figure the color.\"
