This 22 cm gres salato ceramic pitcher in L’Arte Nouveau, stile Liberty a produtto dalle Fornaci di San Lorenzo by Galileo Chini circa .1906-11 sold for $1200 in September 2010. Galileo Chini 1873-1956 was an Italian painter and potter. He began his artistic activity at a very early age, as a decorator and fresco painter. In 1894, as a pupil of the Italian painter Augusto Burchi (b 1853), he painted a ceiling and a frieze in the Palazzo Budini-Gattai in Florence; these frescoes are in a lively style combining naturalism with elements derived from Italian painting of the 16th century.
