Vintage Italian Ceramic Vase Blue Mottled Glaze Mid Century Modern 7 Inch
Mid-Century Italian Ceramic Vase
Mottled Blue Glaze with Sgraffito Accents
Circa 1950s-1960s, Made in Italy
This vintage Italian ceramic vase exemplifies the bold, experimental glazes and modernist forms characteristic of the mid-20th century Italian art pottery movement. The bulbous vessel features a rich, multi-toned blue mottled glaze, accented by a series of vertical sgraffito lines that reveal a contrasting orange-brown clay body, creating a striking sunburst effect around the shoulder. The small flared rim and tapered base provide a balanced silhouette typical of the era's functional art pieces.
• Hand-finished ceramic with a textured, speckled blue and azure glaze
• Incised vertical stripe patterns around the upper body revealing terracotta-toned clay
• Authentic "ITALY" mark incised on the underside with production number 19/14
• Measures approximately 7.25" tall and 7.5" wide (ruler visible in photos)
Condition: Good vintage condition. The glaze is vibrant with a glossy finish and no significant fading. There are no large chips, cracks, or visible repairs on the exterior body. The underside rim shows typical unglazed shelf wear and minor age-related marking. Minor surface dust is present in recessed areas.
