Vintage Mid-Century Gold Gilt Ceramic Brutalist Style Bowl

Make a bold, sculptural statement with this heavy vintage (likely mid-century Italian) ceramic bowl, featuring a striking brutalist design and a heavily textured metallic gold finish. Sitting on a sturdy pedestal foot, the wide bowl is encircled by a distinct horizontal ridge and adorned with flattened, applied ceramic knob studs around its lower half. The rustic gilding gives the piece the illusion of cast bronze or gilded concrete, adding incredible warmth and a Hollywood Regency-meets-brutalist edge to any space. The underside is finished with a protective green felt pad, making this substantial piece table-ready as a dramatic centerpiece, fruit bowl, or an elegant entryway catch-all.

VINTAGE & ANTIQUE
Vintage and antique items are pre-owned and aged goods. In most cases, we do not clean or polish any items that come into our shop. Once you remove an item's traces of age and patina it's not something you can reverse, so we leave those activities up to the buyer. We do not disassemble found art from their frames unless it is necessary to differentiate a print from an original piece of art. Vintage prints purchased from this shop could originate from any print media (e.g., magazines, books, photographs, art prints, etc.). We try our best to describe items accurately and disclose any and all flaws and imperfections. Please refer to pictures as a visual description. We want to make sure you are happy with your purchase so, please do not hesitate to ask any questions you may have prior to checkout.

SHIPPING
As much as possible, we utilize recycled shipping boxes. The box you receive your item in may show signs of wear and pre-use.

PHOTOGRAPHY
All photos are taken in natural light and we do not use any photo filters and do not perform and photo editing (other than basic photo cropping). Depending on your monitor settings, there may be subtle differences in color once you see your item in person.
