The “Essevi” factory for the production of artistic ceramics was founded in 1934 by the painter, ceramist and designer Sandro Vacchetti in partnership with the Turin ceramist Nello Franchini, both former employees of the Turin ceramic factory “Lenci”.
The production of the company, which avails itself, among others, of the collaboration of the sculptor Otto Maraini and of Giovanni Grande and his wife Ines Panchieri Grande, often follows the works of the "Lenci" company, of which Vacchetti had been artistic director since its foundation until 1933, and is made up of figures of little women often in fashionable or skimpy clothes.
