Description from the seller

Description
Selling a magnificent pair of art ceramic vases with Op Art / Space Age design, dating from the 1960s-1970s.
Design: Flat circular disk on a short, flared pedestal, decorated with concentric circles (Target motif) in vivid colors: cobalt blue, burgundy and orange.
Finish: Matte white ceramic body contrasted with the glossy glaze of the motifs.
Origin: High-quality Italian artisanal craftsmanship. Handwritten signature on the base (Monogram ZE).
Condition: Excellent overall condition, no chips, no cracks (see photos). Very beautiful collectible pieces.
Style: Ideal for Mid-Century Modern décor, it pairs perfectly with teak furniture or a Scandinavian interior.
Design Expertise
This 'Target' motif is emblematic of the Op Art (Optical Art) movement, which influenced European ceramics between 1968 and 1975. The 'disk' form on a pedestal is particularly sought after because it is highly architectural.
