Jag gick igenom lite lådor i källaren idag och fann denna italienska vas (31,5 cm hög) med motiv från Bologna. Den köptes för några år sedan och då var det omöjligt att finna någon information om tillverkaren men idag lyckades det.
Minghetti Company, Bologna
Founded in Bologna by Angelo Minghetti (1822-1885), the
company remained in production until 1967 despite various
changes of partnerships. Minghetti, who learned his trade
in Imola at the works of Giuseppe Bucci, established his
firm in the centre of Bologna, first making copies of
Renaissance majolica and then producing period items in
keeping with the fashion of the day. Minghetti’s sons also
worked in the company and on the founder’s death
continued to produce their repertory of reproductions which
continued to meet with great success right up until the
1920s. Angelo Minghetti’s works achieved levels of
exceptional artistic and technical skill, especially in the
production of busts and small decorative statues. Various
artists worked with the factory including Gaetano Lodi who
later worked independently at the Cooperativa Ceramica di
Imola with much success. After the demise of the founder
in 1885, the firm enjoyed a period of great activity as
important members of Bologna’s cultural circles were
among the regular patrons of the workshop, including
Giosuè Carducci and members of the Aemilia Ars group
who involved the Minghetti factory in the broader sphere of
the arts and crafts revival. As the name of the company
enjoyed increasing renown it became fashionable for
residents of Bologna and elsewhere, to come to the factory
to order personalized items with their family arms and
inscriptions to celebrate anniversaries.The heirs of
Minghetti continued to be involved with the company until
the 1930s and after various vicissitudes, crisis in the
ceramics sector lead to the closure of the factory in 1967.
