Davide Fabbri founded in Rome in 1921, in collaboration with Renzo Cellini, the artistic ceramics factory “La Salamandra”; but with the purchase of the brand by Buitoni, the kiln was transferred the following year to Perugia, and in 1930, on the occasion of the Fourth International Triennial in Monza, he presented a selection of his repertoire within the Galleria della Ceramica, ordered by architect Tommaso Buzzi. Among the ceramics on display appeared this Vase with Greyhounds, a work connoted in its elegant and monumental forms by the fusion of Deco taste and the Novecentist inflections then prevailing. Embellished with turquoise enamel tinting, the vase's structure features an ovoid body with a fluted surface and a massive circular foot. From the cylindrical neck departs the curl that forms the loops of the vase, within which are inserted the stylized silhouettes of two snappy greyhounds.
