Vintage Mid-Century Italian Ceramic Dolphin Vase

A striking mid-century Italian ceramic dolphin vase sourced from a private Italian estate, originally from Milan, Italy.

This sculptural sea creature rises dramatically upward, its elongated tail forming the vessel’s flared opening. Finished in glossy white glaze with hand-applied gold detailing, the piece reflects the theatrical elegance characteristic of mid-20th century Italian decorative ceramics.

The expressive form and dynamic movement give it a strong presence — ideal as a standalone statement object or styled with tall branches or dried florals.

Details:

– Approx. 12.5” height
– Glazed ceramic with gold gilt accents
– Likely 1950s–1970s
– Sourced from Milan, Italy estate
– Minor chips to rim and light gilt wear consistent with age (see photos)

A bold, collected piece that bridges coastal nostalgia with Italian mid-century glamour.
