A compact constellation of five small bowls by Bruno Gambone, produced in Italy in the 1970s. The group exemplifies Gambone’s refined studio vocabulary: spare forms animated by calibrated color and quietly tactile clay. Each element offers a slightly different stance—low dishes and rounded cups—designed to sit together as a sculptural cluster or serve as petite table accents. The circular polychrome décor—concentric rings in blue and green on a warm, speckled body—creates an elegant visual rhythm across the set.
Executed in stoneware with hand-painted glazes, the pieces display subtle variations in thickness, lip profile, and glaze density—hallmarks of small-batch studio work. The palette reads softly matte to satin, with gentle transitions from teal to midnight blue around a pale center, emphasizing the geometry of the wells.
Typical of Gambone’s 1970s production, the forms privilege proportion and touch over ornament. Heights range from 3 to 4 cm with diameters between 7.5 and 10 cm. Glaze irregularities and minor wear are consistent with age and use; all pieces are signed under the base.
For collectors of Italian ceramics, the set offers an articulate snapshot of Bruno Gambone’s post-minimal sensibility—restrained, purposeful, and materially aware—bridging function and tabletop sculpture.
