Boselli, Giacomo
(b Savona, 1744; d ?1808). Italian ceramics painter. From an early age he was attracted to the traditions of Ligurian pottery and worked in both Liguria and Marseille, France. It was, however, chiefly in Savona that his products were most favourably received because of his ability to continue the traditions of the maiolica factories of the Chiodo and Levantino families. His workshop’s production was influenced by the work of famous local artists; the variety of wares produced included maiolica, porcelain and cream-coloured earthenware decorated with both enamels and high-temperature colours. His wife Clara [Chiarina] Boselli was a skilled painter of flowers and small figures; after Boselli’s death she continued to run the factory.
