AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This rare and exquisite limited-edition glass dish was designed by the celebrated Italian artist Arnaldo Pomodoro and produced by Ars D Milano. The piece, with a diameter of 32 cm, is made in high-quality sonoro glass with meticulous manual techniques under Pomodoro's direct supervision. Its intricate design reflects his characteristic abstract and geometric motifs, embodying a dynamic play of light and texture.
Arnaldo Pomodoro (born 1926 in Morciano di Romagna, Italy) is a renowned sculptor known for his monumental bronze spheres and intricate geometric drawings. His work often combines technical precision with deep symbolism and has been exhibited worldwide, including the Venice Biennale and major galleries in Europe and the United States. Pomodoro has also contributed to stage design for opera and theatre, merging artistic disciplines in his creations. Among his accolades are the International Prize for Sculpture at the Venice Biennale (1964) and the Carnegie Prize (1981).
This dish likely dates from the 1960s or 1970s, a period when Pomodoro collaborated with Ars D Milano to realize exclusive artistic editions. These collectible pieces were created to exemplify the fusion of art and functional design.
This is not merely a decorative object, but also a representation of the history of Italian modern art, making it a valuable addition to the portfolio of any serious collector. Its scarcity and provenance further enhance its appeal in the art market.

Seller's Story
My name is Riccardo, I recently graduated in Art History from the University of Florence and I am passionate about porcelain. From tableware to artist vases, from figurines to tea and coffee sets, I am fascinated by the mastery and the ability of great artisans and designers who shape this so fragile material, turning a raw mass into masterpieces with a story to tell. During my years at university I became interested in the history of 19th- and 20th-century tableware art; today, every day, I work with prestigious porcelain pieces that always have something to say to me and to those who purchase them. Of my work I love that I can discover more about the objects I find as I travel around Italy, always learning something new. I always strive to convey to my clients this passion I have for the objects I sell, certain that each one of them has a story to tell: the story of who created it, the story of who preserved it, and the story of who will give it a new life.
