Roberto Rosati, a pupil of Duilio Cambellotti, after graduating from the Regio Istituto d'Arte per la Ceramica in Faenza in 1912, opened his first ceramics workshop in collaboration with the art dealer Giuseppe Sprovieri. After the First World War he collaborated with the La Fiamma factory in Rome, which was bought in 1924 by Ferruccio Palazzi. In 1923, he took part in the First International Exhibition of Decorative Arts in Monza in the Rome section, where he exhibited his “Vaso con gallo” (Vase with Cock), whose simple form corresponds to the models in use in the circle of Roman ceramists. The distinctive feature of his production is the decorative motifs of coloured dots, which define the natural or geometric elements depicted. Curvilinear ceramic vase without handles and lid. The decoration consists of a motif of coloured and gilded dots that emphasise and define the plant and geometric elements depicted. The image of the rooster, which occupies a large part of the surface, despite its realistic physiognomy accentuated by brown contours, is rendered through an overall graphic stylisation.
