Carlo Zauli Decorative Vase in Stoneware Italian Manufacture, 1960s

About the Item

Rare round-shaped vase realized in a warm gray stoneware with band decorations, designed and manufactured by Carlo Zauli in 1960s. Signature engraved visible under the base. After winning the main awards dedicated to ceramic art in the 1950s, the early 1960s saw Carlo Zauli evolve towards a markedly sculptural interpretation of his craft. During this time, his own artistic language matured, imbued with an informal character and intertwined with a harmonious yet disruptive “naturalness”: these are the years of his growing international success. Since 1958, the year in which the great reliefs of the palace of Baghdad and the government printing office in Kuwait City were built, his fame grew continuously until, throughout the 1970s and 1980s, it reached all of Europe, Japan, and North America, where he held exhibitions and installed permanent displays of his works. Carlo Zauli was born in 1926 in Faenza, where he passed away in 2002. Today, his works are on display in forty museums and public collections around the world.

  • Gio Ponti Large Green Vase in Ceramic by Richard Ginori 1930s Italy
    By Gio Ponti, Richard Ginori
    Located in Montecatini Terme, IT
    Large vase in green ceramic designed by the Italian designer Gio Ponti and manufactured by Richard Ginori between the 1930s and the 1940s. In this piece, the ceramic was modeled with an elegant and raffinate, flared shape that makes it a perfect decorative vase. The manufacturer's brand is stamped under the base. The history of the Ginori Manufactory began in Doccia, just a stone's throw away from Florence, when in 1735 Marquis Carlo Andrea Ginori started a porcelain factory which was destined to become a worldwide icon of style. The eighteenth-century is a key century for the development of porcelain in Europe, in this period the first manufactures are born, fed by new styles and international trends. In stately homes, palaces and courtyards, the precious porcelain of the Doccia Manufactory is synonymous with elegance and refinement. The passage from the nineteenth, the century of reason to that of feeling marks a new chapter in the development of artistic taste and the manufacture of porcelain. Florence becomes the scene of a controversy between the academic supporters of the Beautiful ideal and the naturalists promulgators of the beautiful natural Since 1806 the direction of the Manifattura passed to Leopoldo Carlo Ginori Lisci who initiates a process of profound renewal. In 1986 The Manifattura expanded and the Richard Ginori Ceramic Company is born. The tradition of master craftsmen meets new technologies and the creations are perfected thanks to the use of new patents From 1923 to 1933 the artistic direction of the Manifattura was entrusted to Gio Ponti. The master is responsible for introducing highly innovative elements with sensitivity and respect for the taste for the ancient, and for the oriental culture. In 1925 at the Universal Exposition in Paris, the Manifattura and its artistic director were awarded the assignment to both of a Grand Prix. The Manufactory was renewed by relying on the experience of the greatest Italian designers of the time: Franco Albini, Franca Helg, Antonio Piva, Sergio Asti, Achille Castiglioni, Gabriele Devecchi, Candido Fior...
