Italian Ceramic Vase by Cianciolo Noma, 1960s
An Italian polychrome glazed ceramic vase by Cianciolo Noma from the 1960s. Formed with a rounded, gently swelling body and a short flared neck, the vessel carries a balanced silhouette. The surface is worked in layered glazes, shifting softly from warm natural clay tones to muted greens and blues.
Along the shoulder, a band of drawn abstract line work moves fluidly around the form, introducing a graphic rhythm that contrasts with the subtle tonal gradients of the glaze.
Signed ‘Cianciolo’ to the base. Both a decorative object and functional vessel, it is well suited on a console, shelf, or table.
Cianciolo Noma was an Italian ceramic artist active in the mid-20th century and associated with the Sicilian town of Santo Stefano di Camastra, a historic center of ceramic production between Palermo and Messina. Working primarily in the 1960s, his pieces reflect the experimental spirit of the period, where traditional craft met the bold visual language of Italian modernism.
His ceramics are often defined by sculptural forms and expressive, abstract surface decoration, aligning with the Mid-Century and Space Age sensibilities emerging across Italian design at the time.
