Bell-shaped vases

The artefact

The essential lines of these vases are inspired by the Sardinian bell-shaped pre-Nuragic culture, as can be seen in the distinctive shape of the borders, decorated with parallel bands in delicate gradations in earth tones. Made of terracotta with coloured slip decorations, they are an expression of the craftsmanship and creative value that characterise Antonello Atzori’s production.
