- Gio Ponti Large Green Vase in Ceramic by Richard Ginori 1930s ItalyBy Richard Ginori, Gio PontiLocated in Montecatini Terme, ITLarge vase in green ceramic designed by the Italian designer Gio Ponti and manufactured by Richard Ginori between the 1930s and the 1940s. In this piece, the ceramic was modeled with an elegant and raffinate, flared shape that makes it a perfect decorative vase. The manufacturer's brand is stamped under the base.
