Product description
**Rare Mid-Century Italian Ceramic Vase by Ernestine Cannon – Glossy Deep Red – Salerno, Italy**
An Exceptional Collector’s Piece – Elegance, Craftsmanship, and Timeless Appeal
**Description:**
This stunning ceramic vase, designed by the celebrated American ceramicist Ernestine Cannon, embodies the essence of mid-century modern Italian design. Crafted in her renowned Salerno workshop, this rare vase is a testament to Cannon’s artistry and her pivotal role in reshaping the landscape of Italian ceramics post-WWII.
The vase’s deep, glossy red glaze captivates with its vibrant hue, while the organically inspired form gracefully narrows towards the neck. Its polished finish heightens the richness of the color, revealing the meticulous handcraft that defined the finest Italian earthenware of the era.
Ernestine Cannon, a visionary who founded her eponymous studio in 1948, introduced bold innovations to Italian ceramics. Her creations, celebrated for their artistry and contemporary flair, were featured in esteemed department stores such as Neiman Marcus. Cannon’s influence was further solidified with the prestigious 1951 Neiman Marcus Fashion Award, and today, her work is represented in renowned museum collections, including the Dallas Museum of Art.
