A small faceted studio vase by Marcello Fantoni (1915–2011), the angular body worked into planes and finished in a lustrous bronze-and-turquoise metallic glaze that shifts with the light — a jewel-like object at just 13.5 cm, characteristic of the experimental surfaces his Florence studio became known for. Signed to the base. Acquired directly from the Fantoni family, Florence. Mid-20th century. 13.5 × 10.5 × 6 cm.
