Bertoncello Ceramics Vase – Italian sculptural design – 1970s

Sphere vase with three lobes, decorated in the style known as "screziato havana" in nuanced brown, made of ceramic and produced by Bertoncello Ceramiche d’Arte, an Italian manufacturer renowned for its bold design creations. This model stands out due to its original sculptural shape with a geometric construction featuring a triangular opening, and its geometric decoration in shades of brown and cream, making it more of a sculptural piece than just a simple vase. Created in the 1970s, it is characteristic of the Italian modernist movement, blending formal research with material texture. About the Bertoncello Ceramiche d’Arte workshop: This workshop (founded in 1956 and closed in 1999) is part of the revival of Italian design after the war. Led by Giovanni Bertoncello, the workshop experienced significant growth in the 1970s, employing up to thirty people.
