Crafted by the renowned Italian pottery studio Essepi, the piece features a vibrant green chartreuse glaze that contrasts spectacularly with opulent, hand-painted liquid gold detailing. Its distinctive scalloped, wavy rim is punctuated by heavy, interlocking ceramic rings that mimic metallic chain links, adding a highly sculptural and playful dimension to the design. Inside, the bowl is adorned with an elegant, stylized botanical motif in gold, showcasing the sophisticated craftsmanship of mid-century Italian ceramics. The underside proudly displays the authentic, hand-painted gold signature "Essepi GC" alongside a vintage paper inventory label. This sophisticated center bowl or vide-poche serves as an exceptional statement piece for collectors of Italian design, adding an authentic pop of vintage glamour to any modern or eclectic interior. It's in good vintage condition with signs of age on the decor. See less
