About the Item

A striking mid-century Italian studio ceramic vase featuring applied relief figures and distinctive rounded accents. This cylindrical vessel is glazed in a rich black, providing a dramatic contrast to four raised figural motifs in vibrant tones of red, yellow, green, and blue. The figures, which appear to reference folkloric or narrative themes, are arranged around the vase’s body, lending it a sculptural and storytelling presence. The base of the vase is marked “Italy,” confirming its origin. Seven rounded protrusions circle the lower portion, adding to its tactile and sculptural appeal. Likely dating to the 1950s–1960s, the piece is reminiscent of Italian studio potters such as Marcello Fantoni and Guido Gambone, though the specific maker is unknown.
