Giovanni Gariboldi

"Winged Deer" Ceramic Vase by Giovanni Gariboldi for Richard-Ginori, San Cristoforo, Italy, 1940s

An exceptional and highly collectible mid-century ceramic vase, designed by the master architect and designer Giovanni Gariboldi and manufactured at the historic Richard-Ginori San Cristoforo plant in Milan. This piece exemplifies Gariboldi’s mastery in combining rigorous structural volumes with poetic, refined decorative narratives. The vase features a beautifully balanced, harmonious ceramic profile that serves as the canvas for a striking depiction of a winged deer (cervo alato). The surface is defined by a sophisticated and warm chromatic palette: a luminous cream-colored glazed ground that provides a harmonious canvas for the artistic illustration rendered in a rich siena earth brown (terra di siena). The balanced distribution across the volumes highlights the sophisticated artistic direction characterizing the Milanese manufactory's production during the mid-20th century. A rare, museum-quality statement piece that bridges modernist functionalism with exquisite decorative arts.
