His sculptural vessels, often developed from the cube, shaped Italian art ceramics of the 1960s and 1970s; related models of the 900 series such as 911, 912 or 917 are collected internationally today and offered on specialist platforms. The underside bears the hand-painted model number 908 in blue, as is typical of Bertoncello pieces of this period; there is no Rigon monogram, and the attribution is based on form, glaze and numbering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe body is a cube with softly rounded edges, from whose sides deep, bowl-shaped hollows have been modelled. The hollows lead into round openings, so that you can look right through the object at several points and the vase presents a different view from every angle. A circular opening with a brown-rimmed edge sits on the top. The glossy glaze combines a light cream tone with a dark brown, sponge-like broken texture that covers the top and edges and fades into a calm, almost plain vanilla tone inside the hollows. The underside is glazed in cream and rests on two unglazed, diagonally set feet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs a solitaire on a shelf, sideboard or desk, the vase reads like a small sculpture, yet it also holds single branches or dried flowers and groups well with other Bertoncello forms. It fits into a mid-century interior as well as a pared-back contemporary setting. It is in very good condition, with no chips, cracks or flakes; fine crazing in the glaze is inherent to the making and not damage. The vase measures 10.1 cm in width, 10.2 cm in depth and 10.3 cm in height.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Roberto Rigon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54520878268763,"sku":"VTG-DCO-177","price":190.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0814\/7641\/9931\/files\/roberto-rigon-wuerfelvase-908-bertoncello-01.jpg?v=1793131142","url":"https:\/\/artfillsspace.com\/en\/products\/roberto-rigon-wuerfelvase-908-bertoncello-creme-braun-1960er-70er","provider":"ArtFillsSpace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
