Mid Century Ceramic Vase Black Glazed by Piero Dorazio for Deruta, Italy

Description

Elegant polychrome glazed ceramic vase designed by Piero Dorazio and produced in Deruta in the 1980s.

The vase features a harmonious shape with a rounded body and slightly flared neck. The surface is characterized by a glossy black glaze featuring a graphic decoration composed of multicolored horizontal bands.

The colored lines—in shades of yellow, red, green, blue, and white—create a dynamic visual rhythm reminiscent of a rainbow color palette, typical of the artistic research of Dorazio, one of the leading exponents of post-war Italian abstract art.

The contrast between the deep black background and the bright colors gives the vase a strong decorative presence and an almost pictorial character, transforming it into an object that combines contemporary art and Umbrian ceramic tradition.

Deruta’s production is historically linked to Italian artistic ceramics and in this case represents an interesting dialogue between craftsmanship and modern abstract language.

The vase has a signature on the bottom, which confirms its authenticity.
