About the Item

This 1970s Postmodern blue ceramic vase, designed by Rigon for Bertoncello, is an iconic example of Italian ceramic artistry during the era. The vase features a bold, sculptural form, embracing the unconventional shapes and playful spirit that define Postmodern design. The vase is characterized by its geometric, abstract structure, resembling an open frame with an asymmetrical silhouette. Its form is composed of a continuous loop that creates negative space in the center, giving it an architectural quality. One side is thicker and curves upward, while the opposite end features a smaller, flat surface with a recessed area, likely designed to hold flowers or serve as a focal point. The deep blue glaze covering the vase is rich and vibrant, with subtle variations in tone and texture. The finish has a slightly mottled or speckled appearance, adding depth to the surface and highlighting the sculptural quality of the piece. The high-gloss finish enhances the smooth contours of the vase, while the bold, saturated blue makes it visually striking. This vase is a standout piece in Postmodern design, combining playful geometry with a bold use of color. Its abstract shape makes it as much a piece of art as a functional object, reflecting the Bertoncello ceramic studio's commitment to innovative and avant-garde design in the 1970s. The vase it's in very good condition overall.
