AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Metallic-luster ceramic vases from the 60s–80s, workshop "Gatti di Faenza".
I am selling as a pair.
Raku ceramic vases produced in Faenza and they are in excellent condition, with no cracks or chips.
Made with a Japanese technique that involves hot extraction of the piece from the oven and subsequent rapid cooling, which creates unique and unrepeatable effects.
• Faenza craftsmanship: The mark "Gatti Faenza" on the bottom attributes the work to one of Faenza's historic workshops, a city worldwide renowned for its ceramic tradition.
The surface features metallic reflections and unpredictable colorations typical of oxygen reduction during the process.
There are mixed colors, mainly light and dark sea-green with copper tones, purple, gold and silver.
The dimensions are the same for both:
Height 8.5 cm
Central width 7 cm
Base 4.5 cm
Opening width 3.5 cm
