Rare Jewel-Toned Mid-Century Covered Box, Italy

About the Item

Highly unusual and brilliantly glazed, this covered box features a sequence of geometric shapes in bas relief that are filled with pools of vivid, jewel-toned glazes in sapphire, emerald and amethyst hues. Like Waylande Gregory, the Italian artisan here is experimenting in the use of thick, crackled glazes that give great depth and intensity to the translucent colors.
