Italian Black Marquina Marble Tall Ribbed Vessel by Casigliani, 1970s

Italian Vintage Sculptural Stone Objects

A commanding example of Italian postmodern marble design, this tall vessel by Casigliani expresses perfect balance between form, texture, and contrast. Hand-turned from black Marquina marble, it features a precisely ribbed surface, a polished rim, and a striking high-gloss black stripe that elegantly encircles the body. The interplay of matte and polished finishes creates a rhythmic, architectural presence that feels both sculptural and timeless.

Sculptural Italian Marble Craftsmanship
Produced in Italy during the 1970s, this vessel exemplifies Casigliani’s mastery in combining modernist restraint with the tactile warmth of natural stone. The horizontal ribbing introduces a subtle visual rhythm, while the deep-black Marquina marble brings depth and gravity to its form. The contrast of textures—a polished band set within a matte ribbed surface—evokes the language of architectural minimalism.

Postmodern Elegance and Functional Form
Beyond its aesthetic presence, this Casigliani piece serves as both a decorative accent and functional vessel—ideal as a table centerpiece, sculptural object, or collectible artifact. The design reflects a refined simplicity typical of Italian postmodern craftsmanship, where geometry, proportion, and material integrity create a sense of effortless balance.
