Antique Italian large caf au lait bowl, airbrushed & stenciled pearly decoration in pale apricot, marked Ceramiche Piemontesi Mondov, early 1900's. DESCRIPTION: Very lovely & rare antique Italian large caf au lait bowl, stenciled & airbrushed decoration in pearly apricot on a cream base. This antique caf au lait bowl is signed Ceramiche Piemontesi, it is a Mondov (Piemonte region) production, it dates to early 1900's. A bit of history: Ceramica Piemontese was born in Chiusa Pesio & has been active since the beginning of the 20th century for the production of earthenware. It manages to impose itself on the market after the First World War & expands its production after having taken over the Gabutti factory. in that period the green mark is represented by an eagle with wings spread over a semicircle that took a nineteenth-century Gabutti brand. in 1932 S.C.I. of Laveno decided to sue the Piedmontese company for unfair competition. The Ceramica Piemontese lost the cause & having to compensate a considerable sum, declared bankruptcy. After the war, a new company was formed which directed itself to the production of strong pottery & in 1967 took over the Musso factory, acquiring in 1968 the Manufactory of the mills. The factory remained active until the eighties & in 1984 closed after a part of workers & some associates joined the New Besio of Mondov. HOW TO USE IT: A very lovely addition to your collection of antique French caf au lait bowls, this antique bowl has all the charme of a farm kitchen in the countryside, its simple & refined design would be perfect to mix & match with other bowls, look at my last two photos, you can see how lovely it is when displayed alone or with other bowls.... I love the antique bowls, they have so many different patterns & age give them so amazing tea stained effects! I am never tired to search them, I enjoy so much to play with them & mix the different patterns matching their colors.... CONDITIONS: Good antique conditions, this antique caf au lait bowl has one hair 3 long, visible in interior & exterior sides, there are also three very old shocks to the edge, visible in my photos. Interior is a bit scratched & stained, it also shows the typical craquel effect as normal in these antique ceramics. MEASURES: Diameter is 6 3/4 (17 cm) wide, 4 1/4 (10.5 cm) tall.
