This unique, hand-painted ceramic vase is a striking piece of Sicilian art from the 1980s. Signed on the bottom by "Mariella Miraglia" with "Fiumara D'Arte," this piece connects directly to a renowned open-air art museum in Sicily. The Fiumara D'Arte, a project started by patron Antonio Presti in 1986, features large-scale sculptures and installations by contemporary artists in the Tusa River valley. This vase is an exceptional example of a smaller, more intimate work created in the same artistic spirit. The vase features a cylindrical, tapering form with a raw, unglazed interior, a nod to traditional ceramic craftsmanship. The exterior is a vibrant tableau of modern art, with a lively, abstract design. It is hand-painted in a bold palette of green, yellow, black, and blue, with fluid, intersecting lines and shapes that evoke a sense of movement and energy. This piece is a perfect blend of modern aesthetics and ancient Sicilian ceramic tradition, making it a powerful and unique decorative statement for any art lover or collector. It's in lovely condition
