Glazed ceramic umbrella stand by Angelo Mangiarotti for Ceramica Brambilla Milano c.1970s, Italy. The piece features an organic silhouette, with a sweeping, flared top that gracefully tapers down into a sturdy cylindrical column stand. The top surface is designed with precisely placed teardrop-shaped perforations, crafted to hold individual umbrellas upright while allowing proper airflow. Coated in a rich high-gloss glazed finish, its minimalist form reflects light beautifully, making it a dramatic visual statement piece even when empty.
