1970s Modernist Amber and Brown Ceramic Italian Vase by Giovanni Bertoncello

About the Item

This 1970s modernist Italian ceramic vase has been manufactured by Giovanni Bertoncello, a renowned ceramicist known for his sculptural and futuristic designs. The vase has an organic and fluid form with two large, curved handles integrated seamlessly into the structure, giving it a sculptural and biomorphic aesthetic. The glaze features a textured, speckled amber and brown finish, characteristic of Bertoncello's work, adding depth and warmth to the piece. The asymmetrical top and dynamic contours contribute to its mid-century modern appeal, making it both a functional vase and a statement art piece. Giovanni Bertoncello was a co-founder of Bertoncello Ceramiche D’Arte, an Italian ceramics company known for its bold, sculptural designs from the 1950s to the 1980s. The company became highly regarded for its innovative, futuristic forms and distinctive glazing techniques. Bertoncello's work is often associated with the Brutalist and Modernist movements, blending geometric and organic shapes. His pieces frequently feature smooth curves, cutout handles, and sculptural silhouettes that resemble abstract art rather than traditional vases. Many of his designs also reflect influences from space-age aesthetics and mid-century modern principles, making them highly collectible. The vase is in perfect condition.
