Mid Century Italian Modern Melior Enamel Bowl

Circa 1960s Italian ceramic bowl in the San Marino style made by ‘Professor Melior,’ an accomplished ceramicist and pottery instructor. ‘Effetto Lacca’ (enamel effect) was incorporated in the hand-decoration of the piece and depicts a female face with flowers.
Striking piece, bold in color, yet delicate in theme and detail.
Prof. Melior hand-painted the model number and signature, along with information on the piece to the underside, as shown.
