Product description
This absolutely stunning vase forms a fascinating synthesis between two influential movements in post-war applied art.
On the one hand, the vase embodies the Mid-Century Modern aesthetic through the use of a rich, metallic gold glaze and a refined finish that reflects the optimistic luxury of the 1960s.
On the other hand, the object positions itself firmly within Brutalism.
The robust 'body' with a diameter of 22 cm breaks with fragile tradition and opts for an architectural presence.
The deep, repetitive relief and the oxidized color tones in the glaze refer to the raw, honest materiality that is so characteristic of this movement.
Where traditional Bequet pieces are often decorative, this model is sculptural and formally dominant. It is an object that not only fills a space but defines it through the interaction between the coarse texture and the changing play of light on the gold.
Design: A deep relief with a woven structure, finished in a rich gold-colored glaze with fascinating nuances of oxidized blue, green, and copper.
Condition: The object is in pristine condition. There are absolutely no chips or cracks. The gold rims show only minimal signs of wear, befitting the age and the vintage soul of the piece.
Details: The interior is cream-colored glazed earthenware. The underside is marked with the official H. Bequet Quaregnon stamp.
Dimensions: Height 24 cm | Diameter (body) 22 cm.
