Hand Painted Italian Ceramic Hexagonal Trivet by Desimone

Hand-painted ceramic tile / trivet by Sicilian aristocrat turned artist, Giovanni De Simone. Unique, hexagonal form with hand-painted rooster detail in De Simone’s signature vibrant colors of yellow, red, orange, pink, green and blue. This piece’s aesthetic was heavily influenced by Pablo Picasso (whom De Simone greatly admired). It is an amalgam of Italian folk art (simplicity, inaccuracy and crudeness of subject) with modernism in the use of color and shape.
Can be used as a decorative tile or as a trivet / larger coaster for a bottle / jug.
H: .75″ x L: 7.1″ x D: 6.25″
Signed De Simone with the model number ’22.’
