Art Deco Iridescent Ceramic Lustre Vase by Fantinelli Faenza, Italy, 1930s

About the Item

Art Deco Iridescent Ceramic Lustre Vase by Fantinelli Faenza, Italy, 1930s This exceptional Italian Art Deco vase dates to the 1930s and was produced by the distinguished Fantinelli workshop in Faenza. Measuring 35 cm high with a 25 cm diameter body and base, its elegant silhouette features a broad, nearly spherical form that tapers gracefully into a slender neck and gently flared rim. Crafted from fine ceramic, the surface is cloaked in a luminous iridescent lustre glaze that shimmers in pearlescent pinks, soft aquas, sage greens, and antique-gold highlights. A richly modeled relief of stylized, undulating waves wraps the midsection, catching light to create dynamic shadows and tactile depth. Toward the foot, the glaze shifts to a warm, matte cinnamon tone, before returning to cooler metallic hues at the base. Hand-made and hand-glazed, this vase retains the original “Fantinelli – Faenza” impressed mark on the underside. A superb example of 1930s Italian Art Deco ceramics, it marries sculptural form with refined decorative artistry—perfect as a standout showpiece or as part of a sophisticated collector’s display.
