Description
Pair of Agresti Vases with Angels. Italian School. 21st century Moulded terracotta. Dimensions 102 x 104 cm. A pair of ornamental vases crafted from Impruneta terracotta, notable for their imposing size and artisanal finish. Each piece rises from a square-based pedestal with classical mouldings, developing into a fluted body inspired by Corinthian forms, evoking the sculptural tradition of the Italian Renaissance. The bulbous body expands elegantly and is topped with decorative handles shaped like winged angel heads, imbuing the vases with symbolic and spiritual character. The lid, crowned with a stylised pine cone, serves both as a closure and as an ornamental motif associated with fertility and eternity. The craftsmanship reveals precise execution, a smooth surface, warm tones typical of traditional firing, and a patina that honours classical aesthetics. The use of Impruneta terracotta—renowned for its durability and distinctive reddish hue—roots these pieces in a deeply Tuscan artisanal legacy. Set within a contemporary neoclassical aesthetic, the works blend ancient references with 21st-century craftsmanship, engaging with the past through a timeless decorative lens. Their sculptural and symbolic presence makes them visually striking and rich in ornamental value.
