It is done in the brutalist manner of the late 1960s-early 1970s. The surface of the vase is highly volcanic. The surface of the vase is deeply carved to give a true 3 dimensional aspect. The green bands and in the grooves are a high texture, perhaps as a result of separate colors being layered one upon the other. The orange is the same. The inside of the piece is glazed in a black glaze. There is some damage to the rim where the glaze seems to have come off of the red earthenware body. The piece is signed simpy ITALY. I feel it is from the studio of Bruno Bagnoli, who worked for Bitossi at Montelupo. Perhaps lesser known here in the United States than Aldo Londi, he nonetheless is well represented in Italy. His work can be seen on pages 160-161 in the book titled Novecento Ceramiche Italiane, Volume 2, by Emanuele Gaudenzi. Add it to your Midcentury Pottery collection today. This would look stunning on a McCobb, Parzinger or Eames piece. www.CollectorOnline.com/stores/coldecoman New item at Yesteryear Here : Bagnoli Bitossi Montelupo Italy cylinder vase http://pages.collectorOnline.com/9707/PictPage/3923703511.html Done by Lincoln Vermont potter Marcy Mayforth, this circa 192 blue hanging heart vase is glazed in a periwinkle blue inside. The body of this vase is a little different from others I have carried. It seem to be more of an earthenware look to it, not as white as most of her backgrounds. The design is done in the sgraffito technique, then filled in as in an enamel piece. There are three hanging hearts on the piece each in two shades of blue with a celadon green band which connects them. It is signed Mayforth on the bottom with her last name and the dates '92. It is in excellent shape.

This size plate would later carry the number 1280. . It is the same shape as pieces I own which carry the original Raymor line label. This 6 1 4 inch round x 3 4 inch deep plate with rough unglazed bottom has glazed sides at the rim, signed with incised signature 'David Gil' and 'bennington'. The piece features a very stylized and abstract bull done in shades of pumpkin orange, turquoise and black on a glossy white glaze. .A great fun and funky piece in excellent condition.
