Product Description

A piece of Neapolitan theatre history brought to life. This ancient Pulcinella mask is an authentic artifact dating back to the early 20th century; it is not a modern reproduction, but an original vintage piece that proudly carries the charm and weight of its time. Crafted from traditional ancient Neapolitan papier-mâché—a humble mixture, yet rich in history, likely enriched with sawdust and animal glues according to the methods of the era—this mask is an invaluable testament to a now-lost artisanal technique. Its surface does not boast a mundane and artificial "aged finish," but the authentic patina of time: every imperfection, every wrinkle, and every mark tells a century-long story. The iconography is rigorously classical: the long hooked nose, the deep folds, and that unmistakably enigmatic expression capture and crystallize the eternal and irreverent spirit of Pulcinella.

Object Care

The ceramics and products sold on Vicode.it are authentic works of art, made entirely by hand by expert craftsmen who use raw materials and natural colors. Each piece is unique, and variations in shape, color or the presence of small cracks and slight drips of paint are not defects, but evidence of craftsmanship. These details enhance the authenticity and value of each creation, making each product exclusive and unrepeatable.

Made with natural materials and artisanal techniques, our products require special care. Tableware, such as plates, cups, mugs, beer mugs and glasses, are not suitable for microwaves, refrigerators or dishwashers. We recommend washing them by hand with warm water, avoiding sudden changes in temperature. In this way, each piece will maintain its beauty and authenticity, making each use an exclusive experience.
