Description from the seller
Multicolored ceramic vase by Roberto Rigon for Bertoncello – Italian design of the seventies
Original artistic ceramic vase designed by Roberto Rigon for the historic Bertoncello Ceramiche manufactory, one of the most representative realities of Italian design in the seventies.
The vase features a refined hourglass silhouette, with a wide bulbous base and a long slender neck ending in a flared opening. The surface is clad in a vivid glaze in coral red tones, characterized by a textured and iridescent effect that gives depth and luminosity to the ceramic.
To enhance the composition, a hand-painted abstract decoration with stylized motifs in turquoise, orange and black, a distinctive element of Roberto Rigon's expressive language. The color contrast and dynamic lines give the piece a strong dramatic impact, perfectly in line with the aesthetics of Italian design of the period.
Made with Bertoncello's usual artisanal quality, this vase represents an interesting testimony to late 20th-century author ceramic production and is ideal both as a decorative accessory and as a collectible object.
Dimensions 14 x 18 cm
Excellent condition.
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 artistic vases, from figurines to tea and coffee sets, I am fascinated by the mastery and creativity of great artisans and designers who manage to shape this fragile material, transforming a rough mass into masterpieces with a story to tell. During my years at university I began to become interested in the history of nineteenth- and twentieth-century tableware; today, every day, I deal with prestigious porcelain pieces that always have something to say to me and to those who purchase them. I love that every day I can discover more about the objects I find while traveling around Italy, always learning something new. I always try to convey to my clients this passion I have for the objects I sell, certain that each of them has a story to tell: that of the creator, that of the one who preserved it, and that of the person who will give it a new life.
