SOLAR DISC BIRD WITH WINGS BROWN AND ROSE CERAMIC VASE
The SOLAR DISC BIRD WITH WINGS BROWN AND ROSE CERAMIC VASE by Sara Ricciardi is one of those objects that refuse to be categorised. Part vessel, part vase sculpture, part mythology — it arrives as a fully formed vision of a desert paradise reimagined through the language of bold decorative ceramics.
Two semi-circular disc wings in lilac grey extend from either side of the cylindrical body, their surfaces concentrically layered with textured graphic rings that graduate from dark mud brown at the outer rim through dusty greyhound tones to a warm flush of matt rose at the centre — where polished gold spherical connectors pin wing to body in a detail of jewellery-like precision.
The vase body bird sculpture home decor carries a densely applied scallop motif — overlapping teardrop scales in blush pink, taupe, and matt gold — running the full length of the tapering cylinder from open neck to wide base. The scale pattern is rhythmic but not mechanical; its tonal variation keeps the surface alive and shifting across changing light conditions and viewing angles.
Together, wing and body form the silhouette of an ibis, a peacock, an ancient solar deity — an image drawing simultaneously from pre-Columbian art, Egyptian iconography, and the fantastical palette of a maximalist interior imagination. Sara Ricciardi’s design intention is clear: nature is not a reference here, it is a departure point for something altogether stranger and more vivid.
A centrepiece object for a console table, a sideboard, or a display shelf where it can be seen from all angles.
