Italian Colourful Textured Ceramic Vase, 1950s

Italian Mid-Century Modern Ceramics

This Italian hand-painted ceramic vase from the 1950s captures the spirit of mid-century modern artistry with its vibrant abstract leaf pattern and textured white surface. The combination of pastel tones—yellow, pink, blue, and green—outlined in black creates a dynamic and playful rhythm across the vase’s form. Its tactile finish and vivid palette make it a standout example of postwar Italian ceramic design.

Textural craftsmanship and mid-century colour
Made from finely worked ceramic with a stippled glaze, the vase embodies the era’s fascination with texture and movement. The hand-drawn leaves and small red accents bring depth and contrast, while the gently flared lip and elegant proportions balance its graphic energy. This is a piece that bridges art and function, evoking the optimism and creativity of 1950s Italy.

Decorative artistry and collectible appeal
A striking decorative object on its own or grouped with complementary pieces, this vase exemplifies the modern decorative movement that swept through Italy in the postwar decades. Its craftsmanship, colour harmony, and timeless design make it highly desirable among collectors of Italian mid-century ceramics.
