Mirko Orlandini - Vase - Stoneware - Brutalist vase

This piece is not simply a vase; it is a true block of Belgian studio pottery history.
Shaped in 1970 by the Italo-Belgian artist Mirko Orlandini (1928-1996), this brutalist stoneware shows a remarkable sculptural presence.
Its compact dimensions of 25 cm in height by 14 cm in width and depth conceal an impressive weight of 1.8 kg.
A characterful object that, unlike us, wears its wrinkles and firing scars with pride.
Under its base, the piece preserves a perfect pedigree: its double studio stamp impressed into the clay (artist's monogram and the year 70) along with its original paper label mentioning the historic Brussels workshop address.
A dense, raw, and authentic piece, ready to join a discerning collection or to definitively calm a draft on a Mid-Century design shelf; a small nick is visible on the back.
