About the Item

Gabbianelli is a renowned Italian ceramics manufacturer known for its bold, avant-garde designs. The piece is an excellent example of modernist aesthetics and the playful, futuristic tendencies of the 1970s design scene. The teapot is highly sculptural, resembling a geometric abstraction with its rounded, modular components. Its bold orange glaze and rounded, spaceship-like form evoke the optimism and futuristic vibe characteristic of the 1970s. The structure is composed of multiple interlocking parts, including a dome-shaped lid, a spherical central body, and a base with a hollowed-out section that serves as a heater or holder. The design cleverly combines form and function, with an ergonomic handle and spout ensuring ease of use while maintaining a visually striking appearance. The teapot is crafted from high-quality ceramic, showcasing the tactile smoothness and durability typical of Gabbianelli products. Its glossy orange glaze enhances the piece's retro-futuristic charm, making it a bold statement piece in any setting. Liisi Beckmann’s Vision:** Known for her playful, experimental approach to design, Beckmann seamlessly merged utility and art. This teapot exemplifies her ability to create objects that are both functional and visually iconic. This teapot is highly sought after by collectors of mid-century modern and 1970s design due to its unique aesthetic and historical significance. It's in good condition with normal signs of use and age, all pieces are marked and with original stickers.
