Each vase presents a distinct but harmonious silhouette: a strong, square base that transitions into a slender neck and opens to a subtly flared mouth. The surfaces are finished in a soft, speckled cream glaze, evoking a natural, almost stone-like texture that feels both modern and timeless. A striking horizontal banding at the base combines deep black and rich terracotta-red, creating a bold graphic contrast against the lighter field above. In the final close-up image, a delicate hint of blue-green glaze under the neck introduces an unexpected, elegant accent that further enriches the palette and speaks to the nuance of Gambone’s glazing technique. All three pieces are signed “Gambone Italy” on the base, confirming both authorship and Italian origin. The set remains in excellent vintage condition, with minimal signs of age and wear, making it ideal for collectors of post-war Italian ceramics or as a refined sculptural accent in contemporary interiors.
