Romeo Pazzini (Italian, 1855-1942) for Manifattura Cantagalli, [Attributed] A Tin-Glazed Earthenware Plaque, circa 1900 depicting the Virgin adoring the Child with a crown being lowered over her head and being watched over by two angels, the plaque mounted in a thick mahogany frame (some losses) frame 84cm high, 57cm wide, no visible marks Fußnoten This plaque, and the following three lots were originally installed at Liverpool Cathedral. They reflect the huge revival of interest in Italian sculptural ceramics of the Renaissance in late 19th and early 20th century Britain and Europe. This vogue is illustrated in a photograph showing John Ruskin in his study at Brantwood in 1893, with a panel of the Virgin adoring the child. At this time, there was a strong market both for original Della Robbia plaques and also the copies. Their popularity was a direct influence on the foundation by Harold Rathbone of the Della Robbia Pottery in Birkenhead in 1894.
