This enticing modernist mid-20th-century modern piece is an Italian sculpture Work of Art with the distinctive style of Italo Casini, a signed handled vase/jug. Some of Italo Casini's terracotta works have come into light with this same decorative technique of a telling rough volcanic lava finish in an organic brown moss green gray tint, enriched with enameled polychrome waved sail-shaped accents, in white, pink, light blue azur glaze. It is made precious with gold additions, creating glittering, shimmering reflections on the earthen surface. This sculpture marries Art and Function with the shape that welcomes branches and flowers to perfect the natural effect.
