This black and white pair of geometric vessels is quintessential 1950's - 1960's Italian design. In the style of Angelo Mangiarotti, Gabbianelli, Angelo Spagnolo for Sicart and the like, this striking set is timeless. Featuring a high-gloss glaze on both, the tall black and the short white have different, complementary shapes, fitting together almost like puzzle pieces, but not precisely. Intriguing for the eye and complementary to most modern and vintage interior styles. This particular style is emblematic of the height of midcentury Italian ceramics.
Condition: Great. No chips or scratches. White shows some signs of crazing if you look close in direct light only, see photo.
Makers Mark: Bottom of each features markings from the artisan. Black - "1013/G ITALY S". White: "1012/P ITALY". I did an insane amount of research to try and identify the specific designer, but can only identify the style and time period in which the pair was made. Priced as such.
