Luciano Liverani Faenza ceramic vase Italy 1968

Very nice and large sized vase by Luciano Liverani di Faenza and made in Italy in 1968. This impressive vase has an abstract graphic design that reminds us of Japanese calligraphy. It has a large round shape with at the top a wider edge. In the middle of the top is a hole where a nice branch can fit in, perfect for an Ikebana appearance. With the neutral colours it can fit any interior. It is clear to see that the maker was influenced by Japanese art. The vase is signed and dated at the bottom. This is a rare piece as Luciano di Liverani Faenza didnt make much. In 1964, he participated in the IX Gubbio Prize, Mastro Giorgio, and registered himself as active in Avellino. The vase is in excellent original condition.

Ikebana is a Japanese way of arranging flowers. It focuses on keeping things simple, not being perfectly balanced, and using space well. It’s been around for a long time and is about nature, harmony, and being mindful. People display ikebana arrangements to bring nature indoors and make a calm atmosphere. It’s practiced all over the world and is still changing while staying true to its old ideas.
