Italy, 1961 sand cast and turned bronze 17 w x 3¾ h in (43 x 10 cm)
This collection represents a rare ensemble of bronze vessels designed by Angelo Mangiarotti.
Each example is a unique cast produced by artisans, revealing a balance between refined form and naturalistic patina. "More solid and eternal than steel," the coarse bronze exterior is contradicted by polished interiors and edges, with each form becoming a sculpture as much as a functional object. Impressed signature to each element: [Mangiarotti]. provenance: Private collection, New York literature: Domus #376, March 1961, ppg. 45-49
Su Mangiarotti: Architetture, Design, Scultura, Finessi, ppg. 146-149
