Italian Mid-Century Modern Ceramics

This Italian ceramic vase by Roberto Rigon from the 1970s is a vibrant expression of mid-century craftsmanship and colour innovation. The piece combines bold geometric forms with rich layers of glaze in orange, grey, yellow, and violet, creating a tactile, sculptural surface. Rigon’s mastery in texture and chromatic balance gives this work a strong visual presence, making it a perfect statement object for collectors and interiors alike.

Rigon’s artistry and modern ceramic design
Renowned for his expressive glazes and modernist sensibility, Roberto Rigon explored the boundaries between art and function in ceramic form. This vase showcases his signature textured finish, achieved through meticulous layering and hand-painting techniques. The contrasting hues and rhythmic surface pattern reflect Rigon’s fascination with natural forms and organic flow, hallmarks of Italian postwar design.

Collectible Italian craftsmanship
Sculptural yet functional, the piece is an authentic example of 1970s Italian studio ceramics. Rigon’s works are prized for their individuality and painterly surfaces, each revealing subtle variations of tone and texture. Ideal as a decorative centrepiece, it embodies the sophistication and creativity of Italian mid-century ceramic art.
