Hand-crafted in Italy, the vessel showcases a vibrant interplay between sunny citron yellow and deep turquoise squares. The turquoise sections are finished with a textured, volcanic-style glaze that provides a compelling tactile contrast to the smooth yellow panes, all expertly framed by a hand-painted black grid. Its robust cylindrical form and recessed base reflect the sophisticated playfulness and high-quality craftsmanship synonymous with 1960s Italian art pottery.


Perfectly sized at 6” in diameter and 5.25” tall, this versatile vessel serves as an elegant home for a lush fern or as a stylish tabletop catchall in a contemporary office. The interior is finished in a clean white glaze, ensuring it remains as functional as it is decorative. It is in great vintage condition, featuring a small, singular flea bite on the rim and minor surface variations that represent authentic age and artisanal charm. This vibrant piece is an essential addition for collectors of European ceramics looking to infuse their space with a pop of retro-chic flair. See less
