About the Item

A captivating example of mid-century Italian ceramic artistry, this Majolica porcelain decorative vase sculpture seamlessly blends naturalistic elegance with sculptural charm. Created in Italy during the mid-20th century, the piece exemplifies the whimsical yet refined design sensibility of the era, where form and function were often united in highly artistic expressions. The sculptural composition centers around a trio of vertically stacked bamboo trunk forms, skillfully modeled and glazed in rich earth tones and lush green hues, enhanced by finely detailed leafwork that appears to organically bind the segments together. Gracefully standing beside the bamboo structure is a majestic stork, rendered in exquisite detail, its long neck and textured feathers beautifully articulated to create a lifelike presence. The stork’s delicate posture adds a sense of narrative movement and poetic symbolism, often associated with peace, longevity, and grace. This piece functions not only as a vase or centerpiece or umbrella stand but also as a sculptural artwork, perfect for adding dimension, color, and character to any interior. Whether placed in a sunroom, conservatory, entryway, or amongst a curated collection of Italian ceramics, it makes a striking decorative statement. the vase is in excellent condition, free from chips, cracks, or repairs. The maker’s mark is present on the underside, affirming its authenticity and origin. It stands Approx. 25" height x 12" width x 9" depth
