The Story
Designed by Ettore Sottsass in 1962, the Calice Vase features a tiered, architectural silhouette made from white clay. Its stacked profile recalls ceremonial vessels and industrial components, brought together in a form that balances sculpture with function. Finished in a glossy white glaze, the vase shows Sottsass’ precise control over shape, scale, and proportion.
Each piece is handmade at the Bitossi workshop in Montelupo Fiorentino, Italy. Small variations reflect the artisanal process. Choose a design object with enduring character — order today and add a modernist icon to your collection.
