310 - Riccardo Gori (born in 1960)

Riccardo Gori (born in 1960) Vase Porcelain with crystallized enamel decoration Artist’s monogram on the reverse Date of creation: 2012 H46 D21 cm Standing forty-six centimeters tall, this vase by Riccardo Gori is an ambitious piece for this technique, the difficulty of which increases with size: the larger the surface area, the more precise the control over firing and cooling must be to achieve uniform crystallization. On this form, which is both slender and expansive, the crystals bloom into patterns that vary depending on the viewing angle. Created in 2012, the piece illustrates the artist’s mastery of a technique that demands patience and experimentation.
