This large sgraffito ceramic vase by Fratelli Fanciullacci exemplifies the bold synthesis of Italian modernism and ethnic art influences of the 1960s. Its jug-like form features a wide, rounded body, a pronounced flared neck, and a single, high-gloss black handle. The dominant warm terracotta tone is enhanced by a matte, slightly rough texture typical of unglazed ceramics. The surface is adorned with sgraffito decoration: stylized human figures and abstract motifs outlined in black and filled with flat, enamel-like areas of white, yellow, blue, orange, and green. The vivid, graphic approach and simplified shapes are characteristic of the mid-century modern aesthetic. The vase’s proportions are harmonious, with a substantial body tapering elegantly to the base and neck. The handle, smoothly affixed and glossy, provides a striking compositional accent. The piece bears the Fratelli Fanciullacci signature, attesting to its origin in Montelupo near Florence—a key center of Italian ceramics. It remains in very good condition, with no visible damage or losses
