A rare and museum-quality pair of ceramic candle holders, produced by ICS (Industria Ceramica Salernitana) Vietri during the "Cantagalli period" in the late 1930s. This collaboration represents one of the most intellectually stimulating chapters in Italian ceramic history, where the archaic and vibrant spirit of Salerno's coast met the refined, artistic rigor of the Florentine Cantagalli workshop. The candle holders feature a bold U-shaped double-arm structure resting on a dynamic, undulating base. The aesthetic is a striking precursor to Mid-Century Modernism: a brilliant emerald green glaze serves as the canvas for a rhythmic, hand-painted pattern of horizontal orange stripes and dots. In the late 1930s, this style represented a radical departure from traditional decorative motifs, leaning towards a graphic and sculptural language that remains incredibly contemporary. These pieces are significant artifacts of the "periodo fiorentino" of Vietri, highly sought after by collectors for their historical importance and their sophisticated, avant-garde color palette.
