Carlo Zauli - 花瓶 - 陶瓷 - 高光釉面陶瓷

Carlo Zauli (1926–2002) – “Maiolustre” 花瓶，光泽釉陶瓷，Faenza，意大利，约1950年代–1960年代

Elegant stoneware vase designed by renowned Italian ceramic artist Carlo Zauli. The piece features a restrained geometric form with a narrow cylindrical neck above a faceted shoulder and tapering body. Finished in a deep metallic lustre glaze (“maiolustre” in Italian), the surface displays subtle iridescent reflections ranging from charcoal and bronze to gunmetal tones, characteristic of Zauli’s experimental glazing techniques.

这件作品由著名意大利陶瓷艺术家卡洛·扎利设计，采用简约的几何造型，颈部细窄的圆柱形连接着带切面的肩部和逐渐收窄的躯体，整体风格克制而优雅。表面施以深色金属光泽釉（意大利语称为“maiolustre”），呈现从木炭色、铜色到枪金色的细腻彩虹状反光，体现了扎利在釉色实验方面的独特技艺。

The underside bears an impressed mark that appears to read “ZAULI”, consistent with the artist’s studio production. This work reflects Zauli’s transition from traditional decorative ceramics toward the modern sculptural language that would later establish his international reputation.

底部刻有一个印记，似乎读作“ZAULI”，与艺术家工作室的生产相符。此作反映了扎利从传统装饰性陶瓷转向现代雕塑语言的过渡，这也为他日后在国际上赢得声誉奠定了基础。
