Fornasetti PAPER WEIGHT £150.00

Piero Fornasetti made paperweights with electrical insulators in only 16 designs: Calendars, Alphabet, The New Key to Dreams, Clocks, Fishing, Pipe smoking, Musical Instruments and Butterflies. Fornasetti ceramics were blank forms designed and most likely made by Richard Ginori.

To make decorated insulators like Fornasetti did, low temperature glazes and ceramic decals are applied to insulators that have previously been fired at high temperatures. In applying gold trim and decals to an industrial object, Fornasetti was challenging the notion that form follows function but, instead, form or, in this case, a decoration can be added to an object to create "varying degrees of irony, wit and tension"
