Riccardo Gori (born 1960)
Vase
Porcelain with crystalline glaze decoration
Artist's monogram to the reverse
Date of creation: 2012
H46 D21 cm
Standing forty-six centimetres high, this vase by Riccardo Gori is of an ambitious format for the technique, whose difficulty increases with size: the larger the surface, the more precise the control of firing and cooling must be to obtain a homogeneous crystallisation. On this form, both slender and full, the crystals unfold in patterns that vary according to the angle of view. Made in 2012, the piece illustrates the artist's maturity in a technique that demands patience and experimentation.
