About the Item

This Bertoncello sculptural ceramic vase from Italy, dating back to the 1960s, is a remarkable piece of Italian ceramic artistry. Roberto Rigon was a notable designer associated with Bertoncello, a renowned ceramics manufacturer based in Italy during the mid-20th century. The vase likely embodies the distinctive characteristics of Mid Century Modern design, with its sleek lines, geometric shapes, and innovative forms. Rigon's work often showcased a balance between functionality and artistic expression, making his pieces both aesthetically pleasing and practical. Bertoncello was known for its craftsmanship and attention to detail, producing ceramics that were celebrated for their quality and design ingenuity. The company's pieces were often sought after by collectors and enthusiasts of Italian mid-century design. Bertoncello's signature designs are often very sculptural, with echoes from geometricism and modern architecture. Dramatic curves, rounded edges and corners, pierced forms and an organic feel are recurring features. The sculptural nature of the vase suggests that it might have been crafted as a decorative object, meant to be displayed as a work of art in its own right. Its presence can add a touch of sophistication and elegance to any interior space, serving as a captivating focal point. Its historical significance, artistic merit, and association with the Italian design tradition make it a cherished item for collectors and aficionados of Mid Century Modern decor.
