A Set of Three Flared Bronze Vases for ESART

1970s

About the work

This striking set of three flared bronze vases by Bruno Gambone for ESART exemplifies the refined elegance of Italian modernist decorative arts from the 1970s. Each vase shares a harmonious architectural form, composed of a slender flared neck rising from a square geometric body. Despite their differing heights, the three pieces are unified by proportion, material, and sculptural restraint, allowing them to function as a cohesive ensemble.

The warm bronze surfaces display subtle tonal variation and natural patination, enhanced by contrasting dark horizontal bands that create visual rhythm across the forms. The interplay between cylindrical and rectilinear elements reflects Gambone’s sophisticated approach to balance and structure, while the graduated scale introduces a dynamic sense of hierarchy when displayed together.

Designed as decorative objects with strong sculptural presence, the set captures the understated luxury associated with Italian design of the period. Whether grouped as a centerpiece or arranged individually, the vases maintain a timeless architectural quality.

Each piece is signed and stamped for ESART, Made in Italy.

Footnote

Bruno Gambone (1936-2021) was an Italian artist and designer born in Vietri sul Mare, Salerno, into a renowned family of ceramicists. He trained in ceramics under his father, Guido Gambone, before expanding into painting, textile decoration, and modern design. During the late 1950s he worked in Florence and exhibited at Galleria La Strozzina. After relocating to New York in 1963, Gambone became immersed in the city’s avant garde artistic circles, engaging with figures such as Robert Rauschenberg, Roy Lichtenstein, and Andy Warhol. These experiences shaped his distinctive modernist aesthetic across ceramics and decorative arts.
