Lenci Manufacturing was established by Enrico Scavini and his wife Helen König Scavini in 1919, for the production of dolls and ?toys in general, furniture, furnishings and children?s layettes?; but even for the production of a special kind of fabric used for furnishings, tapestries and dolls, better known as ?pannolenci? felt.0In 1927 the company decided to expand its production to a line of figurines and objects in enamelled ceramic. In 1928, this led to a very rich catalogue of statuettes and objects that immediately became the fashion for Italian middle and upper classes. In order to attain this goal, the manufacturing company availed itself of the creative collaboration of important Turin-born artists such as Sandro Vacchetti, Gigi Chessa, Mario Sturani, Abele Jacopi, Ines and Giovanni Grande, Felice Tosalli and even the owner of the company herself, Helen König Scavini, who was responsible for the creation of a successful series called ?Signorine?: female photography of the Turin bourgeoisie during the full-blown 1930s.00Exhibition: Museo Internazionale della Ceramica. Faenza, Italy (03.04.-06.03.2018).
