Sculptural ceramic vase in vintage Italian style by Roberto Rigon for Bertoncello Model 137.

Vintage sculptural vase in ceramic designed by Roberto Rigon for Bertoncello Ceramiche d’Arte in Italy, model 137. With its bold asymmetrical silhouette, organic curves, and richly textured glazing, this piece is a characteristic example of Italian modernist ceramics from the second half of the 20th century. The vase features a particularly expressive and architectural profile, composed of a broadly curved body and an asymmetrical opening. This original shape gives it a true sculptural presence, allowing it to be used both as a vase and as a standalone decorative object. The glazed ceramic surface displays beautiful speckled shades blending warm ochre, golden brown, caramel, and deeper brown tones. The variations in the textured glaze create an almost mineral effect and particularly highlight the fluid curves of the piece. The underside bears the model/reference number 137 handwritten.
