This Italian ceramic centerpiece from the 1960s embodies the hallmarks of mid-century modern design, balancing sculptural form with decorative detail. Crafted from fine ceramic, the exterior is finished in a vibrant, glossy lime green glaze, while the interior features a deep, lustrous brown. The inner surface is adorned with a geometric relief of spirals, diamonds, and linear motifs, lending the piece a dynamic, three-dimensional quality both visually and to the touch. The bowl’s gently curved rectangular shape with upward-flared corners emphasizes its sculptural silhouette, and its wide, low profile ensures stability. Measuring 35 × 23 × 9 cm, the piece is in very good condition, with only a minor chip on the upper edge and minimal traces of use consistent with its vintage character. This centerpiece resonates with the voice of 1960s Italian design: bold color and geometric ornamentation speak of an era when expressive, innovative approaches permeated even the most functional objects. The lime glaze captures and reflects light, bringing a fresh vibrancy reminiscent of a summer afternoon, while the relief motifs evoke the spirit of Italian ceramic studios where craftsmanship met modernity. The bowl seems to invite a sense of celebration—both through form and the richness of its surface detail. Placed as a focal point on a coffee table or sideboard, this centerpiece could be paired with ceramics in warm tones or muted glassware. It would complement interiors styled with mid-century modern elements: veneered sideboards, upholstered armchairs, or minimalist brass lighting. Combining it with natural linen or raw wood would highlight the contrast between the glossy glaze and matte surfaces—especially in collector’s or eclectic spaces where the courage to mix details defines the atmosphere.
