A sculptural modernist vase designed by Tone Orgoni for OPI Studio, produced by Gabbianelli, one of Italy’s most influential ceramic manufacturers of the mid‑20th century. This model dates to circa 1960, a period when Gabbianelli was at the forefront of Italian industrial design, collaborating with leading architects and designers to create bold, architectural ceramic forms.
The vase features a clean cylindrical body with sculptural contouring and a vivid gloss orange glaze — a hallmark of Gabbianelli’s early modernist palette. The form is minimalist yet expressive, designed to interact with light through its gentle curves. The underside retains its original paper label identifying the maker, designer, and model number, confirming its authenticity.
A strong, collectible example of early Italian modernist ceramic design.
Condition note: There is a fine hairline glaze crack at the rim and a small chip that has been recoloured. Both are noted for accuracy and reflected in the price.
