Product description
This is a fine example of mid-century Italian ceramic artistry, dating from the 1960s. The piece is defined by its pure modernist silhouette, combining a spherical body with a slender cylindrical neck, and is distinguished by its vibrant and expressive glaze.
Crafted in Italy, this vase is made from ceramic with a high-gloss finish. The exterior features a striking red and black 'fat lava' style glaze, creating a dynamic, textured appearance, while the interior is finished in a contrasting solid black glaze. The base is marked with what appears to be a form number, 9562/14, a common practice for ceramic studios of the period.
The vase presents in excellent condition, consistent with its age. The glaze remains bright and intact, showing no significant signs of wear, and the ceramic body is structurally sound. It has been well-preserved, retaining the original character and finish intended by its maker.
With its bold colour palette and classic form, this vase is a versatile decorative object. It serves as a compelling accent piece on a sideboard, bookshelf, or console table, and integrates seamlessly into interiors with a Mid-Century Modern, eclectic, or minimalist aesthetic.
