TAY symbolizes the ultimate artistry in ceramics. Giuseppe Tagliariol (TAY) was the artist and owner of the factory which produced magnificent works. In 1952 he opened his own studio in Monza, which he operated until his death in 1986. The business continues under the watchful eye of his son. Tay Junior suggests new models and new colors, but following rigorously his father's criteria of discipline and naturalistic interpretation combined with artistic inspiration. He is continuing the methods and ideas of his father, assimilated by him throughout his family life.
This beautiful figure portrays a Robin perched on a oak tree branch with leaves and acorn. Wonderful life-like details and coloration with matt glaze. The figurines measures 5 1/4" in length and 5" in height. Faintly impressed on the back "Tay". On the base "Robin" in ink and impressed "Tay" and "Giuseppe Tagliariol". There are no cracks or repairs; a small chip on the end of one of the tail feathers (see photo). Priced accordingly.
