This ceramic vase from 1960s Italy exemplifies mid-century modern design, echoing the stylistic cues of the acclaimed Bitossi manufactory. Crafted from chamotte clay, the piece features a deep, earthy brown base with subtle lighter speckles, accentuated by an unmistakably matte, raw surface. Intentional grooves, ribbing, and slight irregularities reveal its handmade origin. The vase’s proportions—broad, bulbous base with a sharp, narrow neck that opens to a generous rim—create a striking, sculptural silhouette characteristic of Italian ceramics of the era. A glossy, vivid orange band encircles the neck’s constriction, paired with a repeating row of raised, teardrop-shaped decorations also in bright glaze, producing a powerful decorative punch against the darker body. The interior is finished with a dark, lustrous brown glaze, marrying aesthetic appeal with practical ease of cleaning. The vase is preserved in excellent, original condition with no visible losses, restorations, or discoloration; all decorative details remain intact. This form tells the story of 1960s
