Blue ceramic pitcher by Bertoncello, 1970s








This blue ceramic jug by Bertoncello is a quintessential example of the mid-20th century renaissance of Italian ceramics. It showcases the exemplary craftsmanship and innovative design ethos characteristic of the era. Bertoncello was a relatively small but highly regarded ceramic company, renowned for its sophisticated and sculptural ceramics that combined functionality with avant-garde aesthetics. The form of the jug is likely to be elegantly minimalist, with a smooth, flowing silhouette that effortlessly blends the spout and handle into the overall shape of the body, creating a harmonious, unified object, not only as a vessel for holding flowers, but as a centrepiece that can anchor a room or a collectional. Its aesthetic reflects a blend of artistic expression and practical design, embodying the Mid-Century Modern principle that everyday objects should be both beautiful and useful. The jug is in perfect condition and has the original label on one side.
