Her vividly hand-painted mid-century pieces gained international visibility (including U.S. retail distribution) and earned a 1951 Neiman Marcus Fashion Award, making signed “Ernestine Salerno” ceramics sought-after collector items today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-is-only-node=\"\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-end=\"1288\" data-start=\"876\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eErnestine Salerno\u003c\/strong\u003e was the post-war Salerno ceramics label behind a distinctive range of mid-century Italian earthenware – brightly painted plates, bowls, pitchers, lidded jars, and condiment pieces that blended clean modern shapes with playful, folk-leaning decoration. Pieces are typically identified by hand-painted or stamped “Ernestine \/ Salerno \/ Italy” markings, and collectors value them for their saturated color palette, graphic shape, and the fact that sets were made in many mix-and-match variations rather than a single rigid pattern program.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Berlin Retro Finds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56497567924599,"sku":"1206","price":299.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/0434\/3415\/files\/1206_16.02.2025_1_vase_ErnestineSalerno_ErnestineCannon_Josefine_Red_Ceramics_Glossy_36-1.jpg?v=1767993670","url":"https:\/\/www.berlinretrofinds.com\/products\/epic-ceramic-vase-ernestine-cannon-for-ernestine-salerno-1950s-1960s","provider":"Berlin Retro Finds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
