Small ceramic bowl with gestural red-on-blue glaze, signed by Guido Gambone and produced in Italy, circa 1950s. The expressive shape features an undulating rim and painterly red bands and blocks over a brilliant turquoise glaze, a hallmark of Gambone’s modernist ceramic language. Compact in scale, this is a one-of-a-kind piece that distills the irreverent, Matisse-meets-Maiolica energy of postwar Italian studio pottery into a powerful object.
