A tall, mid-century ceramic table lamp with figures in shades of yellow, blue, red, and green by master Italian ceramicist Marcello Fantoni.


MARCELLO FANTONI (1915–2011) was born in Florence in 1915. He began studies at the Instituto d’Arte Porta Romana in Florence when he was twelve under the great ceramicist Carlo Guerrini. His training in the arts included sculpture classes with Libero Andreotti (1875–1933) and Bruno Innocenti (1906–1986) and instruction in figure drawing with the painter Gianni Vagnetti (1898–1956). Fantoni graduated from the institute as a maestro in 1934, and, after a stint as the art director of a ceramics factory in Perugia in neighboring Umbria, opened the Fantoni Ceramic Studio in Florence in 1936. Here he produced serial and individual pieces along with sculptures and furnishings.

In 1937 Fantoni’s work was shown in the Florence National Arts and Crafts Exhibit. Its rustic forms and painted decoration commanded a lion’s share of the attention. By the onset of WWII, Fantoni’s integration of Modernist elements with ancient Italian pottery techniques had won him artistic and commercial success at home and abroad.

In the initial years following the War (during which he participated in the Italian resistance), Fantoni worked for the centuries-old Maiolica factory in Deruta, Umbria, renowned for its signature tin-glazed pottery. In the 1950s, he refocused on his studio in Florence where he devoted himself to larger sculptural pieces as well as multiple collaborations. Fantoni’s post-war work, with its technical mastery and unique abstract style, helped push ceramics into the sphere of serious art. It raised the profile of Italian ceramics and laid the groundwork for their lasting prestige.

Fantoni drew from varied influences—Primitivism, Novecento style, Cubism, and Abstract Expressionism—experimenting with materials and forms alike. Marcello Fantoni designed numerous collections that translated the essentials of his explorations into objects that could be put into serial production. A special emphasis on ancient Etruscan techniques, glazes, and colors heightened the timelessness of much of his output. In addition to clay, he frequently worked in metals to great effect. Every Fantoni piece was ultimately rendered unique by his hand-painting of it. His painting style remains one of the most identifiable qualities of his creations.

In 1970 Fantoni founded the International School of Ceramic Art, dedicated to teaching ceramic arts and experimentation. Many of his students and employees went on to become noteworthy artisans and artists. Fantoni maintained great versatility throughout his career, completing many large-scale projects for public and private buildings. When he died in Florence in 2011 at the age of 95, his obituary in La Nazione hailed him as “the master of beauty.”

The following museums hold works by Fantoni: MoMA, the Met, and the Brooklyn Museum in New York City; the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; the Victoria and Albert Museum, London; the Royal Museum in Edinburg; and the National Museums of Modern Art of Tokyo and Kyoto in Japan; the International Museum of Ceramics in Faenza and the National Bargello Museum and the Uffizi Gallery in Florence.

Good seal and cute in photos
Color: Pop Rainbow Sweet Purple, Color: Pop Rainbow Sweet Purple
We had the prior version of these Speedo kids’ goggles and these ones are much better. First, they have the same great no catch string that comes on and off without pulling hair. But they also have a better seal around the eyes, and so after days of hotel pool and swim class swimming we haven’t had a leak yet. The new frames also look a lot more like really cute kids’ sunglasses, so they’re great for all-day hotel pool wear and look great in our holiday photos.

These goggles are absolutely perfect for my 4.5 year old. She is obsessed with them and they are easy enough for her to put on herself. We've been using for over 6 months now and they are still in perfect condition! Highly recommend these because they seem very durable and difficult to break.

These are my kids favorite swim goggles. The adjusting in the back helps them fit better and doesn't get tangled in his hair. This also don'ts leak like some other brands. Mom approved.

Cooler
Color: Clear Blue 4 PK, Size: 4 Pack
I absolutely love these Cool Coolers by Fit & Fresh! They are truly amazing and have made such a difference in keeping my food fresh. The slim XL design is perfect because it fits easily into my lunch bag or cooler without taking up too much space. What really impressed me is how quickly they freeze and how long they stay cold. They keep everything nicely chilled for hours, which is exactly what I need for busy days. Plus, they are reusable and very durable, so they’re a great eco-friendly option. The quality is excellent, and the performance is even better than I expected. I highly recommend this product to anyone looking for reliable and efficient ice packs!

Keep Everything Cold All Day!
Color: Multi (4 Pack), Size: 4 Count (Pack of 1)
These ice packs are absolutely perfect! The 4-pack gives me plenty of options to keep drinks, lunch, and snacks cold no matter where I go, whether it’s work, a picnic, or a day trip. They freeze quickly, stay cold for hours (I live in a really hot climate and they stay cold in my car all day), and fit perfectly in lunchboxes, coolers, or insulated bags without taking up too much space because they are pretty thin. The packs are very durable, completely leak-proof, and easy to clean, which makes them convenient for everyday use. I love that having four means I can always have a frozen one ready while the others are thawing. Overall, this set is reliable, long-lasting, and makes keeping food and drinks cold simple and stress-free — I would highly recommend them to anyone!
