These objects were very similar to the products created by the Lenci factory and responded to the aesthetic tastes of the time.
In addition to mass production, interesting one-off pieces were also created within the manufacturing laboratories, often by Clelia Bertetti herself. These unique pieces contributed significantly to the artistic offering of the manufactory.
In 1942, Clelia Bertetti abandoned the artistic direction of the factory, which was sold to third parties who continued production for over ten years while maintaining the same name. Subsequently, Clelia Bertetti decided to abandon the craft activity to dedicate herself exclusively to sculpture.
Within the manufacture's production, various objects often had a production number. In particular, ceramics with a number lower than 100 are generally attributable to the founder of the company.
