Ceramic fan vase by Giovanni Gariboldi for Richard Ginori

This vintage glazed ceramic vase, in the shape of a stylized fan, was designed by Giovanni Gariboldi for the Italian manufacturer Richard Ginori in the 1940s, then based in San Cristoforo. Painted pale yellow on the outside and white on the inside, it rests on a rectangular base and bears the manufacturer's mark. Gariboldi, a figure of modernist Italian design, created a graphic and sculptural piece here, emblematic of the refined taste of the time. Overall Condition Excellent vintage condition. No chips or restorations. Styling and placement advice Display on a graphic shelf or low cabinet, alone or in a diptych with other Italian ceramics. Ideal for bringing a modernist Art Deco touch to a sober interior.
