A rare brown and beige slab built rooster made of stoneware and originally designed by Guido Gambone.  It was later reinterpreted by Bruno sometime after his father's death in 1969.

GUIDO GAMBONE was arguably the most influential Italian ceramist of the previous century.  The elder Gambone (son Bruno was also a gifted potter) defined a unique style that fused traditional ceramic method with unstructured form, uniting the art of the past with that of the modern era.  His dynamic objects with their experimental glazes and eccentric patterns achieved great popularity in his day and are treasured holdings in today's private and museum collections.

Born in Montella in the southern Italian region of Campania in 1909, Gambone received his earliest ceramics training at the Manifattura Artistica Ceramica Salernitana in nearby Vietri sul Mare.  He continued his studies at the Industria Ceramica Salernitana (I.C.S.), eventually taking on its directorship.  Gambone moved north to Florence in 1936 with fellow artists Vincenzo Procida and Francesco Solimene to organize the Cantagalli ceramics company (named for founder Ulisse Cantagalli, 1839–1901) which specialized in reviving the rich colors and patterns of the Maiolica tradition.

In the early 1940s he teamed up with brother Remigio and friend Andrea D’Arienzo to establish his own ceramic factory in Vietri Marina, Salerno:  La Faenzerella.  Owing to wartime conditions the company grew rather slowly, but Gambone was soon winning prizes for its production.  In 1947, for example, he received the prestigious Premio Faenza award for a ceramic panel of his creation.  The genius of this phase of Gambone’s ceramic design rested primarily in his use of thick glazes, often rendered more viscous by the addition of glass and sand.  He continued in this style into the 1950s, when he established a second workshop in Florence:  La Tirrena.  In the new space Gambone advanced his earlier designs by working in larger, even more elaborate, amorphic forms.  He reunited with Vincenzo Procida at La Tirrena and also worked there collaboratively with his son Bruno Gambone.

1950 saw the showcase of one of Gambone’s collaborative works at a group exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum in New York City.  In 1951 Gambone enjoyed a solo showing at the Galleria Il Milione in Milan.  By the end of the decade, he had achieved wide international acclaim.  He upheld his dedication to his work until 1967, when La Tirrena closed its doors.  Gambone died two years later at the age of 60.

BRUNO GAMBONE was born in Salerno, Italy, in 1936.  His early work experience included an apprenticeship at his father, Guido Gambone's, studio at the age of 14.  (The elder Gambone is counted among the greatest Italian potters of the last century.)  Following a brief stint at Andrea d'Arienzo's ceramics factory in 1958, Bruno began to explore other artistic experiences, including fabric decoration and painting on canvas.  He held his first exhibition of paintings at the La Strozzina Gallery in 1959.  In the early 1960s, Gambone took up residence in New York City, where he moved in exalted circles among artists such as Rauschenberg, Lichtenstein, Louise Nevelson, Frank Stella, and Warhol, gaining much experience in the fields of painting, sculpture, cinema, and theater.  He returned to Italy in 1968—and to Florence the following year when his father died.  He took up the reins of Guido's ceramics studio and devoted himself almost exclusively to pottery.  He worked with remarkable intensity and produced works of great interest.  Bruno Gambone occasionally explored other sectors of applied art, such as glass, furnishings, and jewelry.  His activism in defense of artistic craftsmanship is often noted.

…Between birth and death, there is a story made of everyday earth. – BRUNO GAMBONE

Pack's Promise was okay but not great
Format: Kindle
Pack's Promise was okay but not great. I won't recommend it to anyone that I know. PRO: * Very likable characters * Lots of steamy scenes that are written very well * The spelling and grammar are good * The punctuation is good with the exception of using hyphens instead of commas. Lots of hyphens. Lots and lots of hyphens. CON: * Almost no interactions with any characters outside of Madison and the pack * Nearly no plot. They meet, get together for a heat, agree to make it permanent, done * Quite a few typos such as extraneous words, missing words and words out of order THINGS TO KNOW: * More steamy scenes than storytelling * A lot of MM & MMM, some MFMM during heat

Fluffy and Nice Omegaverse
Format: Kindle
… this would have made 5 stars but for 2 reasons. A.) there were quite a few typos; misspelled words, missing quotations, “the his” mistakes, and various signs that maybe a proofread would do good. B.) the writing was quite textbook. Late blooming omega is struggling with her new self, finds a absurdly wealthy pack of alphas, every thing is almost insta-love but she resists, then decides to love herself and let everyone be happy. Rian was my favourite (obviously the author’s favourite too because he got the most page time) but I wish we could see more of his CEO side? He went to work maybe ONCE the entire time. Gray was supposed to be the “growly one” but he turned out to be puppy dog. Lucas was a genius brainiac doctor - but also super alpha with an aggressive hindbrain with a breeding k*nk?? And then there was no actual “breeding”?? Spice 3/5 - normally omegaverse books are super high on messy smut but this was tamer. Romance 3/5 - insta-love that was then resisted because of personal hangup’s Plot 2/5 - weird paced head hopping, showing the same scene from different POV’s that made me feel like it was 2 steps backward, 1 step forward. Humour 4/5 - there were a dozen lines that genuinely made me chuckle out loud Would have been five stars but the lack of proofreading and the predictable plot made me unable to get up to ADORED IT level - four stars is still and official ENJOYED IT, y’all. This isn’t a bad rating. The “Club Heat” has intriguing possibilities so I’m going to give the second one a shot.

Fun with a late blooming omega
Format: Kindle
I like this book. The story is fun, cute, and sexy. There's just a little drama, some excellent, steamy scenes, and a fairly good relationship building storyline. I especially like how all the main characters are a bit older than the usual 20 somethings I tend to see in this kind of book. Having said that, I wish there were more descriptions of the places, as well as the food in the fancy restaurant. I enjoyed the cocktails at the club, so I missed that kind of detail when Gray took Madison on a dinner date. I also wish there had been more interaction between Lucas and Madison, and Lucas and Rian. It felt a bit lopsided, with a focus on Rian, Madison, and Gray. I wish it had been proofread - there are a lot of typos, but nothing too distracting.
