A striking mid century Italian studio pottery vase dating to the 1960s and attributed to Fratelli Fanciullacci.
The tall, sculptural form features a gently tapered cylindrical body, stepped shoulders and a narrow neck finished with a broad flared rim. Its wonderfully rich turquoise-blue glaze is interrupted by three bands of deeply textured geometric decoration, picked out in contrasting shades of dark blue, black and green.
Repeating arches, stylised leaves, squares and looped motifs wrap around the body, giving the vase a bold, graphic quality while retaining the character and subtle irregularities of hand-decorated studio pottery. The combination of glossy glaze and incised detailing catches the light beautifully, revealing different tones and textures from every angle.
The underside bears handwritten markings and numbers associated with its original production. Although the maker cannot be confirmed conclusively, the decoration and construction closely resemble known pieces attributed to the celebrated Italian pottery Fratelli Fanciullacci.
A wonderfully decorative piece that looks particularly effective displayed against warm teak or walnut furniture. Equally striking filled with flowers or displayed alone, it is a distinctive example of the expressive colour and pattern associated with Italian mid century ceramics.
