Manufacturer: Bruno Bagnoli, Montelupo, Bitossi, Italy
This vase stands 9 1/2 inches tall and is 3 3/4 inches wide at the mouth. It is done in the brutalist manner of the late 1960s-early 1970s. The surface of the vase is highly volcanic. The surface of the vase is deeply carved to give a true 3 dimensional aspect. The green bands and in the grooves are a high texture, perhaps as a result of separate colors being layered one upon the other. The orange is the same. The inside of the piece is glazed in a black glaze. There is some damage to the rim where the glaze seems to have come off of the red earthenware body. The piece is signed simpy ITALY.
I feel it is from the studio of Bruno Bagnoli, who worked for Bitossi at Montelupo. Perhaps lesser known here in the United States than Aldo Londi, he nonetheless is well represented in Italy. His work can be seen on pages 160-161 in the book titled Novecento Ceramiche Italiane, Volume 2, by Emanuele Gaudenzi.
Add it to your Midcentury Pottery collection today. This would look stunning on a McCobb, Parzinger or Eames piece.
