Monumental ceramic cachet pot
This cachet pot is the work of sculptor and ceramicist Pino Castagna, and was crafted in the 1980s. What is impressive is its monumental size of the piece as well as its sculptural presence. Ceramic is expertly modeled, echoing the theme, dear to Castagna, of the rim folded to one side. The decoration is layered and textural, working on a white base by adding warm beige tones with ochre accents until reaching a very dark point of brown in the central band. Numerous bubbles, purposely allowed to emerge, make the surface dynamic and tactile.
The ceramic is signed below the base. It remains in very good vintage conditions: the vase was intact except for a small chipping on the rim that has been professionally restored.

Pino Castagna, a sculptor and a versatile designer who also worked with glass, bronze, cast iron, steel and cement, in his ceramic production has devoted himself above all to colour experimentation in decoration, abstract but with strong natural references, often in very intense tones. Throughout the course of his career, Castagna continued to devote himself to the production of everyday ceramic objects, such as plates, vases and jugs, but also to small one-off sculptural vases.
