Round ceramic with crystallized enamel and a tiny aperture removing any function to the object.
Humble, Lampecco didn’t consider himself as an artist, but obviously he was one of them and a good one.
Lampecco used to say about his work:
“My pots with tiny orifice have to be meaningless, I didn’t create them as vases. They serve only to be beautiful, to please, to dream”
Measures: Ø 23 cm x H 22 cm

Antonio Lampecco was born in Minucciano, Italy in 1932 and moved with his family to Maredsous, Belgium in 1949 where he acquired Belgian nationality.
In 1953, the monks of the Abbey of Maredsous took him on trial for a few days. He spent his life there and headed the ceramic workshop for several decades.
His work, recognizable by his favorite bulbous shapes of all sizes with amazing glazes, has been exhibited in many cities in Europe where he received numerous awards and distinctions.
He notably obtained the Honorary Diploma of the City of Faenza (1965), the Critics’ Prize in Charleroi (1972), the City Prizes of Vallauris (1979) and Bratislava (Slovakia in 1984) etc. The Maison de la Culture de la Province de Namur organized a retrospective of his work in 1979. Antonio Lampecco has been an Associate Member of the Fine Arts Class of the Royal Academy of Belgium since 1992.
Antonio Lampecco passed away in Maredret in August, 2019.
