Vintage Alvino Bagni Blue Floral Pottery Jug Vase

Beautiful vintage mid-century Italian pottery vase featuring vibrant raised floral decoration in rich turquoise blue with bold yellow and orangy tones. This striking piece showcases classic Italian relief craftsmanship, with individually applied floral elements and a high-gloss glaze, giving it both texture and depth. The elegant jug form with a tall narrow neck and side handle makes it a standout decorative accent, perfect for display or floral arrangements. The base is marked “Italy” along with studio numbers (“V. 53 / F. 39”), consistent with mid-century Italian export pottery. This piece is attributed to Italian ceramicist Alvino Bagni, known for his work with Bitossi before establishing his own studio in the 1950s. Bagni’s work is recognized for its expressive forms, rich glazes, and artistic variation, often produced in limited decorative runs rather than strict mass production. While this vase is not accompanied by original documentation, the style, glaze work, form, and marking structure strongly align with Bagni-associated Italian studio pottery, and it has also been identified as such within a professional ceramics identification group.
