About the Item

A striking and highly decorative one-of-a-kind soliflore vase signed Schiavon, entirely hand-built and hand-painted by the artist. With its sculptural silhouette and vibrant palette, this piece stands as a small ceramic totem—both whimsical and sophisticated—embodying the finest tradition of Italian studio pottery. Standing 46.5 cm tall with an 8.5 cm diameter, the vase features an elongated, tapered form crowned by a stylized female figure reminiscent of mid-century Italian figurative ceramics. The expressive face, adorned with geometric accents and bold chromatic contrasts, evokes a poetic, almost narrative presence. The artist’s hand is visible throughout: from the carved contours to the layered glazes, from the decorative motifs flowing along the body to the raised circular medallion applied on the front—an abstract sun-and-sky composition in deep red, yellow, and white. The surface is richly decorated with flowing leaves, warm ochres, turquoise tones, and graphic outlines, creating a rhythmic, painterly effect that makes the vase visually captivating from every angle. The signature Schiavon confirms the authorship and positions the piece within the sphere of Italian artisanal ceramics known for expressive, imaginative craftsmanship. This unique soliflore is perfect as a sculptural standalone object or used with a single stem. Its presence adds character and bold personality to contemporary interiors, eclectic spaces, collectors’ shelves, or curated display niches.
