this work dates from the late 1950s to early 1960s, a crucial experimental period during which carlo zauli gradually moved away from functional ceramics to develop autonomous sculptural forms. This piece should be understood as a study of volume and balance, conceived as a sculptural object rather than a utilitarian element.

the form is free and organic, with a matte, mineral surface, characteristic of the artist's exploration of materials, the tension between solid and void, and small-scale architectural presence.
the piece is signed “zauli” on the base, an incised signature before firing, confirming its authenticity.

a small but rare work, representative of carlo zauli's research, it is particularly sought after by collectors of post-war italian ceramics. Italy, circa 1960.
