Folded Flame Vase — E.S.A.

Italy , c. 1950s

€690

Hand-formed ceramic vessel produced in Turin during the 1950s by E.S.A. (Eredi Sante Anselmo), a family-run ceramic workshop active in mid-century Turin.

The wide, asymmetrical body rises into a controlled central fold — a gesture that appears spontaneous but demands significant technical precision at this scale, where imbalance during firing could compromise the structure.

Finished in a satin red glaze with a vivid yellow interior, the bold pairing reflects the confident, graphic colour language embraced by Italian ceramic ateliers of the period.

Large-scale folded forms from Turin workshops of this period are rare, making this a particularly compelling example — equally striking displayed empty or in use.

Condition Report

Light age-related craquelure is visible to the interior glaze, consistent with mid-century ceramics. The vase remains fully watertight and suitable for use. Minor surface discolouration to the exterior glaze and two small firing incisions where the folded lips meet — both subtle and stable, and in keeping with its handcrafted nature.
