Vintage Libertas San Marino Fat Lava Vase with Sgraffito Geisha Portrait

Add an authentic piece of mid-century drama to your collection with this signed vintage 1960s Libertas San Marino art pottery fat lava vase.
 
This spectacular statement piece features the official hand-incised script signature of the renowned Libertas studio alongside the "R.S.M." (Repubblica di San Marino) mark on its raw, dark-glazed base. The vase showcases a striking contrast between its rough, intensely textured charcoal-grey volcanic "fat lava" crust and a brilliant, highly polished enamel glaze window. Inside, a stylized portrait of an elegant mid-century woman or geisha is masterfully hand-carved using traditional Italian sgraffito scratch techniques. The bold white line work is brilliantly highlighted by pops of vibrant turquoise-blue flora and a bright canary-yellow hair wrap, making this an exceptional centrepiece for collectors of European studio ceramics and retro home decor
