AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Rare and evocative monumental vase in hand-decorated art ceramic, crafted by master ceramist Antonino Cianciolo in Santo Stefano di Camastra (Messina, Sicily).
The work stands out for its exceptional decorative painting and incision inspired by futurist/aeropainting and modernist aesthetics. The lower band is enriched with dynamic and scratched geometric motifs glazed in white and brown, recalling aerodynamic forms and spatial displacements. The body of the vase features a warm gradient in terracotta, ochre, and sand tones, topped by a long cylindrical neck in matte white glaze.
Visible signature on the body of the work: "Cianciolo" executed with a brush in white on the decoration.
Mark at the base: Hand-drawn underglaze "MOMA - S. STEF. C. - ME".
