Some of the pieces up for auction
The ancient Neapolitan factory ‘Mollica’ was founded by Giovanni Mollica, son of Pasquale, already a ceramist at the ‘Real Fabbrica Ferdinandea’ and at the ‘Giustiniani’, in 1842, in some premises in via Santa Lucia. Led by Giovanni’s sons, Ciro, Achille and Alessandro, the factory became, at the end of the nineteenth century, one of the most important in Southern Italy.
Gesualdo Fuina (Castelli, 1755-1822). Albarello depicting ‘fioraccio castellano’, 19th century. The albarello offers the classic ‘fioraccio’ with a central rose among flowers, introduced into the castle majolica by Gesualdo Fuina and created through his innovative palette, with the introduction of purple red and bright green colors on white glaze echoing the white kaolin of the porcelain . At the bottom is an empty scroll where you can cold insert any apothecary inscription. On the back it bears the client’s initials.
