Coral shape vase with multi-colour glaze

by **rocco** Sun Jan 15, 2012 12:57 pm

I wonder if anybody can help in ID of this quite funny vase, shaped like a coral (or a tree?)

Stands appr. 20 cm high, mottled glaze in red, yellow, orange and dark blue, unmarked.
The colours do look 1970s, but maybe it's just a quite recent "retro" piece...

Thanks!
Michael

While looking for a Bertoncello vase I found today, I came across this thread: https://www.20thcenturyforum.com/t311p45-bertoncello-italy#25730
The vase in the first pic seems to have a very similar glaze to mine...

And I found these vases by Guido Andloviz for Lavenia, which are the same design as my vase (but not identical).

So -- Italian should be quite probable then I guess? Maybe Bertoncello based on the Lavenia vase?

Thanks,
Michael

Thanks a lot guys!!

So the designer seems to be Guido Andloviz, but I would say that my vase was executed later regarding the glaze -- perhaps 1960s/70s?
And the "branches" are a little bit shorter than the ones in the original Lavenia piece...

This is quite a rare one, I believe (unsurprisingly!) Only a pencilled number on the base - looks like 1322. I don't know what they were thinking!

My only piece bought recently - I see a few on here - ed has one. I love Bertoncello and will be keeping my eyes peeled for more.

Spotted this at Woking Art Deco Fair on the Bank holiday monday. Dealer said I could photograph it for the forum.
