Vintage Mario Garesi Italian Terracotta Fishing Boat Nautical Sculpture Figure

A striking pair of Italian terracotta fishing boats by Mario Garesi, each a testament to handcrafted artistry from the 1930s. The larger vessel features three figures—two men and woman—beneath a delicate suspended light, while the companion boat remains unoccupied, both meticulously detailed. The potter's signature marks the primary boat, affirming authenticity. Each piece's unique character reflects the hand-modelled nature of traditional terracotta work. Preserved in very good vintage condition, these sculptural forms capture the maritime heritage and domestic warmth of early twentieth-century Italian ceramics, perfect for collectors valuing provenance and craftsmanship.
