About Giovanni Gariboldi
Born
1908
Died
1971
Giovanni Gariboldi (1908–1971) is identified in public authority data as an artistic director associated with Richard-Ginori. Available object documentation connects his name with ceramic designs produced for the manufacturer during the 1930s and 1940s, including a stoneware stand dated 1933, a stoneware bowl dated 1936, and an earthenware vase dated 1948. These records place his documented activity within designed ceramics and artistic manufacture rather than establishing a conventional easel-painting biography. One recorded vase has a narrative decoration depicting a city carried on a vessel propelled by winds. Collectors are therefore most likely to encounter Gariboldi through Richard-Ginori ceramic objects, museum-documented examples, and auction listings in which designer, manufacturer, material, date, and attribution must be considered together. The available public source pack is biographically limited, so claims about nationality, training, artistic movements, exhibitions, and the precise scope of his directorship require further institutional documentation.

Common works and media
The source pack most clearly documents designed ceramics for Richard-Ginori. Recorded examples include stoneware forms from 1933 and 1936 and an earthenware vase from 1948. Bowls, stands, vases, and other decorative ceramic forms are therefore more firmly supported than the paintings, prints, or sculpture categories that may appear in broad auction indexing. Each object should be checked for material, date, inscriptions, manufacturer association, condition, and attribution.
Market and appraisal context
Gariboldi market evidence should be assessed through closely comparable objects rather than a name-level price average alone. Relevant comparisons should align as closely as possible on medium, size, date, condition, restoration history, subject, provenance, inscriptions, and attribution confidence. For ceramic objects, the relationship stated between Gariboldi and Richard-Ginori is also important to verify from the individual catalogue entry. Appraisily's public page contains matched auction records, but its broad category labels and incomplete feeds should not be treated as proof that every result concerns the same type of work. Public results can establish a comparison range; they do not replace physical inspection, condition analysis, authentication, or review of the full auction description.
Auction categories and appraisal factors

Appraisal caveats
- Public auction records are a starting point rather than a final appraisal.
- Private sales, incomplete auction feeds, and later attribution changes may not be represented.
- The broad auction categories on the current Appraisily page require lot-level verification because the source pack contains limited independent market documentation.
- Authentication and condition can materially affect the relevance of otherwise similar auction results.
