Description from the seller
Bertoncello Ceramiche D'Arte - Roberto Rigon - Modernist biansato sculptural vase - Ceramics
Description
A modernist art ceramic sculptural vase, model number 145, attributed to designer Roberto Rigon for Bertoncello Ceramiche D'Arte (Schiavon, Vicenza, Italy). The piece dates from the late 1960s to early 1970s.
The object features an organic, asymmetric silhouette, with two wide, passing side openings that serve as integrated handles in the body of the vase itself. The finish is the classic matte textured glaze of the workshop, characterized by mineral shades and flashes ranging from ochre and amber to darker tones of coffee and burnt brown. The glaze work is designed to emphasize the plasticity and volumes of the form under light.
On the white earthen base, the three unglazed support points typical of the firing process are visible.
