  Famous 20th century ceramicist Eugenio Pattarino--1885-1971-his works were passed out by the Vatican as gifts to famous visitors like JFK--Andre Gide, Sarte and Edith Piaf were some the more famous who collected his work-most Pattarinos in the US were brought in by well-healed American tourists who bought them in Florence-- a large 8 foot Madonna by Pattarino is in a chapel in Lady of Angel Cathedral in Los Angeles----for years Pattarinos sculptures were marketed from a shop in Florence on the shoulder of the river Arno--several years ago shop was washed away in a flood along with records, sculptures and any forms--so Pattarinos sculptures have become rarer and rarer--this finely detailed 12.5 inch sculpture is glazed terra cotta and is signed- perfect condition--has great color and movement. Signed by Prof. Eugenio Pattarino.
