About the Item
An extraordinary and highly rare bronze sculptural bowl, designed by the renowned ceramic artist Alessio Tasca and crafted in his own atelier in 36055 Nove, Italy, during the 1960s. This large and striking bowl or plate boasts an abstract form that immediately captures the eye, exuding the bold, artistic spirit reminiscent of the Zero group. The piece is made from beautifully green-patinated bronze, and its dynamic, fluid shape creates a sense of movement, making it a captivating work of art from every angle. The form of the bowl is so visually arresting that we’ve provided a custom stand, allowing it to be displayed at an optimal angle to enhance its presence in any room.
What truly sets this bowl apart is its exceptional provenance. It is not just a work of art but the pre-production prototype that Tasca created as a presentation piece for fairs and exhibitions. Since his ceramic works were fragile and therefor difficult to transport, Tasca had bronze versions made as display pieces—one of each design—while the actual ceramic versions were produced in multiples. As a result, this bronze bowl is not only an incredibly rare object but also a unique piece of art in its own right, making it highly sought after by collectors. Finding a bronze piece by Tasca on the market is virtually impossible, making this bowl an exceptional find. The bowl is signed on the back with the artist’s typical Tasca stamp, ensuring its authenticity.
In excellent original condition, this piece would make a statement in any collection or interior. The stand is available as an optional addition for those who wish to display the bowl as it was originally intended, elevating its presence and showcasing its sculptural beauty.
Alessio Tasca was a distinguished ceramic artist, born in Nove, Italy, in 1929. His career began in 1949, when he participated in the V Italian Exhibition of Sacred Art for the Christian House at the Angelicum in Milan, presenting a terracotta Annunciation. In 1951, his work received considerable attention at the IX Triennale di Milano, where his engraved, earthy dishes were featured, gaining the admiration of renowned designer Gio Ponti. Tasca’s presence continued to grow in the art world, with his first appearance at the Venice Biennale in 1952 in the “Venice” Pavilion for decorative arts, where he showcased vases and plates. He returned to the Biennale in 1954, presenting a majolica table and trays with figures.
In 1961, Tasca left the Tasca Artigiani Ceramisti workshop to open his own atelier in Via Roberti, where he focused on creating unique large-scale sculptures, returning to the realm of sculpture rather than mass-produced ceramics. His contributions to the world of ceramics were widely recognized, and at the 1964 Venice Biennale, he was awarded 1st Prize (shared with Pompeo Pianezzola) in the ceramics category. Tasca continued to achieve acclaim, winning 1st Prize for his “Great Shield in Majolica” at the Gubbio Biennial in 1966.
Tasca’s legacy is one of innovation and artistry, and pieces like this bronze bowl exemplify his skill, vision, and artistic evolution.

Giacomo Onestini ceramic sculpture Italy 1970
By Giacomo Onestini
Located in Roosendaal, Noord Brabant
Beautiful ceramic sculpture designed by Giacomo Onestini made in his own atelier in Italy in 1970. It has a combination of matte and shiny glazed surfaces. The back and sides of the sculpture have a textured surface with shades of gray, green, and sometimes turquoise. On the front, there's a carved-out section that's smooth and glazed with red and gold hues. It's a very appealing and intriguing piece. You can find the artist's signature, "Onestini," on the side of the sculpture. This piece was created in the artist's personal studio. Very nice large sized, heavy piece and in excellent condition.
After graduating as a master ceramist, Onestini moved to San Marino where he found employment at the "Marmaca" ceramics factory. Around the end of the 1950s, he moved to Salerno and began working with the "Ernestine...
