Monumental “Face” Vase – Bassano, Italy, 1980s

An impressive handcrafted decorative vase from Bassano del Grappa, Italy, one of the most important European centres of artistic ceramics. Its monumental dimensions and expressive form make it not only a vase, but above all a striking decorative sculpture.

The vase depicts a stylised human face, rendered in the minimalist, graphic aesthetic characteristic of Italian design of the 1980s. The contrast of black and white, elongated proportions and restrained visual language reflect the aesthetics of postmodernism, making the piece a distinctive element of an interior.

The vase bears the following original mark:

“Prodotto Artigianale fatto a mano – Artistic Design – Bassano Italy – Produzione Limitata”, confirming its handcrafted character, Italian origin and limited production.

Ceramics from Bassano del Grappa have long been appreciated by collectors for their quality of craftsmanship and bold design. Monumental models from the Artistic Design series represent highly decorative examples of Italian functional ceramics from the late 20th century.
