1960 Bertoncello Italian Vintage Brown Red Beige Ceramic Ashtray Bowl/Catch-All

Description
Create a sculptural arrangement of organic shapes, combining style statement and functionality with these Italian vintage earthenware Art pieces: a group of 4 Mid-Century Modern different ceramics is available, 3 vases and a bowl/catch-all, by Bertoncello and designer Roberto Rigon, showing inspiration from Barbara Hepworth and Henry Moore work. This particular postmodern sculpture bowl is quite innovative in its aerodynamic shape for the period and particularly in the mid-20th-century ceramic sector, glazed in a beige terracotta with a sand-like red-brown earth pigment enamel on a smooth surface that catches light reflections.
Bertoncello Ceramiche d'Arte in Schiavon (Vicenza - Italy) was a company founded in the 1950s that achieved great national and international success in the 1970s, thanks to the collaboration between Giovanni Bertoncello and the designer Roberto Rigon, both gifted with great artistic style and innovative vision. Their creations show a modernist approach, choosing geometry and unexpected shapes that confer a sculptural appearance to the forms. The company closed in the late 1990s.
