What an amazing coincidence!"},"content":{"rendered":"

\"\"<\/a>A\u00a0couple of weeks ago we published an article about Aldo Ajo\u2019, a most distinguished Italian ceramic artist from Gubbio. Soon after a lady from the US got in touch with us to ask if we could provide her with some info on a beautiful ceramic work she owns, that is actually signed Aj\u00f2 \u2013 Gubbio.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Now, we do not usually encourage appraisal or pottery identification inquiries, because we are not professionally prepared for the job. However we were intrigued by the lucky chance and we decided to ask Prof. Ettore Sannipoli, an experienced art critic and connoisseur of Ajo\u2019s works, if he could have a look at the pictures of this amazing art work.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Prof. Sannipoli confirmed that the bull – that\u2019s what we are talking about, a most beautiful bull! – is authentic: it was made from a mold or a model, perhaps in the Thirties.<\/p>\n

Actually, dating the piece without having seen the item in person is quite challenging. Although Prof. Sannipoli has evidence that Ajo\u2019 made some similarly shaped works at the beginning of the Thirties, it\u2019s hard to determine without a close examination whether the bull is actually from that decade or if it was made later in time. Still the piece remains a most valuable collector\u2019s prize.<\/p>\n

One more coincidence: the bull was bought not far from Jessup, Pennsylvania, a \u201csister city\u201d to Gubbio!<\/p>\n

Thanks to our reader and privileged owner of Ajo\u2019s bull and to Prof. Sannipoli for his time and kindness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
