AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This vase is a work by Giovanni Petucco, renowned ceramist from Nove (Vicenza). The artist has created a piece that unites artisanal tradition with a modern and avant-garde artistic sensibility. The form, in particular, is slender and irregular, with a nearly sculptural stance that departs from rigid classical symmetry.

The beauty of the piece also lies in its chromatic finish. The vase features an extraordinary color transition, fading from the intense red of the upper part to the deep black of the base. It is a magnificent example of how Petucco, through his experimentation, has managed to infuse a contemporary touch into traditional ceramics.
