Textured Black and Orange Brutalist Ceramic Cylinder Vase. Made in Italy.

This roll vase features a slightly irregular cylindrical body, covered in black enamel with metallic reflections and a deliberately textured surface, scratched and grainy, resembling volcanic rock. The neck is adorned with a wide drip of bright orange enamel, which spills over in irregular fringes onto a dark green area, creating a striking contrast between lava and fire. This expressive ceramic belongs to the Italian brutalist movement of the 1960s, which can be stylistically linked to the spirit of Marcello Fantoni, a Florentine ceramist famous for his pieces with fiery glazes, or to the productions of Bitossi. The material takes precedence over form, in a deliberately earthy aesthetic. Condition report: Overall good condition. Healthy and vibrant glazes, texture as intended by the ceramist, with no notable visible chips. A piece of character, whether alone or in a collection of ceramics, on a sideboard or a bookshelf.
