The Cambi auction house event dedicated to collectible European majolica and porcelain returns on June 12th. This year some important majolica will be beaten, some coming from the workshops of Castelli d'Abruzzo, including a splendid sixteenth-century cup attributed to Orazio Pompei in compendium style and from the seventeenth-century period the very refined plate depicting the allegory of autumn represented as a grape harvester and executed by Francesco Grue around 1650-1660, or those by Gironimo Pompei, Carlo Antonio Grue, Aurelio Grue and others. Rich in dynamism are the bodies of satyrs and bacchantes that animate the scenes of the two plaques decorated in the Grue workshop, perhaps by Carlo Antonio himself, depicting the wedding procession of Bacchus and Ariadne.

The important porcelain table clock from the Real Fabbrica Ferdinandea of ??Naples is perhaps the rarest object presented in this sale. Decorated with phytoform motifs and triumphs of arms that accompany two allegorical figures of Time that reveals the Truth.

Very refined examples of seventeenth-century majolica inspired by Savona are the baccellato basin with an unusual unicorn figure and two exceptional large pharmaceutical containers made in Piedmont by workers of Ligurian origin in the so-called "naturalistic calligraphic" style.

The monumental sculpture of Augustus III, created in the 19th century in a single piece measuring 78 cm high, offers a splendid demonstration of the skill of the Viennese modellers.

The sensuality of the nineteenth-century porcelain odalisque from Kiev is one of the last lots presented in the catalogue; taken from a neoclassical bronze model by Jean Jaques Pradier that the director of the factory purchased in Paris to have reproduced in porcelain.
