Italian Faenza Copper Glaze Ceramic Vase, 1950s
An Italian ceramic vase from the 1950s, signed Faenza Casa Novo, where surface and form are treated as one continuous expression.
The silhouette is full and contained—a rounded body rising into a gently narrowing neck—its proportions simple, but intentional. What defines the piece is its finish: a copper-lustre reduction glaze that shifts between deep gold and burnished bronze. Across this metallic ground, soft green circular motifs emerge, irregular and organic, as if revealed through the firing process rather than applied.
Made in the Faenza region, long associated with a tradition of experimental ceramics, the vase reflects a mid-century interest in material transformation—where glaze becomes atmosphere, and surface carries depth beyond decoration.
