The original "Polivaso" vase, designed in the 1950s by Antonia Campi for the Società Ceramica Italiana di Laveno (SCI), is one of the most recognizable examples of 20th-century Italian ceramic design.
Made of bright orange glazed ceramic, it features a distinctive sculptural structure composed of multiple necks of varying heights. The slender, organic shape fully reflects the experimental research pursued by Antonia Campi during the 1950s, a particularly significant period in the revival of Italian ceramics.
The Polivaso vase can be used as a vase for small flowers and simple compositions, but it also retains a strong aesthetic autonomy as a decorative sculpture. Today, it is a sought-after object among collectors and enthusiasts of Italian design, modern antiques, and designer ceramics.
Perfect for modernist, mid-century, or eclectic settings, it represents a significant testament to post-World War II Italian design.
