Sided 'Fantoni Italy' on the underside. This 1950s example features an organic, teardrop-shaped body with a narrowed neck, finished in a deep blue volcanic-style glaze with layered mineral-like textures and subtle variegations of green and gold. The rugged, cratered surface embodies Fantoni's experimental approach to glaze chemistry, evoking the look of oxidized metal or ancient earthenware while maintaining a modernist sensibility. Signed on the underside, this work is a strong representation of Fantoni's influential contributions to postwar Italian ceramics and remains highly collectible among mid-century design enthusiasts. Provenance: From the collection of Lorraine Goldberg, a beloved Detroit ceramist. Dimensions: 6.75"h x 4.5"w x 2.5"d. In very good vintage condition. Full condition report available upon request.
