elegant floral artful Italian vase by Elio Schiavon Italy 1960s handpainted

About the Item

This beautiful ceramic vase, which features a floral painting very similar to the designs of the renowned art mirror, was meticulously hand-painted in the Italian province of South Tyrol during the 1960s. The design was created by the Italian artist Elio Schiavon (born in Padua, 1925) in collaboration with Gunter Erhart for the SKK ceramic studio. SKK is an acronym that stands for "Südtiroler Kunstkeramik," which translates to "South Tyrolean Art Ceramic." South Tyrol is a German and Italian -speaking region in northern Italy. The work of Elio Schiavon is informed by a deep engagement with the traditions of handicraft, a profound artistic experience, and an unwavering commitment to continuous research. Schiavon's artistic maturation unfolded initially within the workshops and laboratories of Bassano, subsequently at the Art School in Nove, and ultimately at the Accademia dei Carmini in Venice. A multitude of Italian and international accolades (Faenza Giovani, Bevilacqua la Masa, Venice Biennale, Stockholm, Helsinki, Munich) substantiate his widely acknowledged talents and propel his already fervid artistic pursuits. Schiavon draws inspiration from the Veneto school and its esteemed artists, incorporating their insights and ideas into his own distinctive and original style. Together with his son, he oversees a workshop where experience, innovation, curiosity, sensitivity, and passion serve as the primary ingredients in their ceramic creations. Elio Schiavon was born in Arzergrande, in the province of Padua, in 1925 and pursued his studies at the School of Ceramic Art in Nove, where he was a student of Andrea Parini. Subsequently, he relocated with his family to Bassano del Grappa, where he undertook an apprenticeship at the Zortea ceramics workshop. He subsequently completed his master's degree at the Venice Academy of Art.
