This ceramic vase from the 1960s is a representative example of Italian mid-century craftsmanship from the Bertoncello manufactory. Its geometric form rests on a wide base (12 × 12 cm), rising into a slender neck accentuated by a pronounced ring-like collar. The upper edge is cut asymmetrically, lending the piece a dynamic, sculptural quality. The surface is finished in a matte, warm off-white glaze with a thick, sand-like texture, while a circular perforation near the base acts as both a decorative accent and a testament to modernist design thinking. Standing 30 cm tall, the vase is in excellent condition, showing no visible damage, chips, or repairs. There is a distinct sense of the 1960s in this object: Italian ceramics here speak with the voice of experimentation and sculptural expression. The matte glaze and raw texture evoke memories of southern sunlight, drawing out subtle tonal transitions across the surface. The vessel seems to whisper stories of an era when everyday objects became small works of art—functional yet unconventional, ready to take center stage in a domestic play of light and shadow. The Bertoncello vase can be displayed on a low sideboard, console, or shelf in the living room, functioning both as a vessel for a single branch and as an autonomous sculptural object. It pairs well with other mid-century modern elements: lamps of geometric forms, wood-veneered furniture, or ceramic planters. Combining it with natural fabrics and a neutral color palette will highlight its texture and warm, organic hue. In more eclectic interiors, it can be juxtaposed with Murano glass or minimalist graphics, creating an intriguing counterpoint. No additional technical information or care instructions available. The vase is made entirely of ceramic, finished with a matte, highly textured glaze.
