Bibliographic reference: Model documented in the official reference volume: "LA SALAMANDRA. Arte e industria della ceramica a Perugia. 1923-1955". DETAILS OF AESTHETICS AND VISUAL RENDITION The figure is distinguished by a finely modeled face, with a magnetic and theatrical gaze accentuated by dark makeup around the eyes and lips painted in bright red, iconic elements of the ceramic avant-garde of the period. She wears a dark neckline bodice and a wide skirt enriched with majestic stylized floral motifs in polychrome tones of yellow, blue, orange and green on a glossy black background. In the right hand she holds an open fan placed at the hip. The glossy glaze presents itself bright and uniform, emphasizing its splendid plasticity. CONDITION AND AUTHENTICITY Condition: Perfect state of conservation. The statuette shows no restorations, hairlines, chips, or missing parts. Glassy structure intact. Factory mark: The mark on the lower edge of the base is almost completely faded or worn by time; only the letters "LA" are legible. The authenticity and stylistic and manufacturing attribution remain total, absolute and unmistakable.
