Biomorphic Ceramic Female Form Sculpture Vase stands as a distinctive example of figurative design from the late 20th century. Executed in glazed earthenware, the vessel functions simultaneously as a decorative object and a functional vase. The anthropomorphic silhouette features highly stylized curves representing a female figure, with arms extending upward to create open negative space and form the upper rim.
The surface displays a glossy finish over a beige and ochre ground, accentuated by bold, hand-painted black detailing that sharply defines the facial features and stylized body contours. It exhibits a fluid, organic structure characteristic of the biomorphic movement, balancing architectural lines against the volume of the base. The glazing technique provides a smooth, tactile quality to the glazed earthenware material, enhancing the sculptural depth and visual impact of the piece.
While the specific atelier remains unidentified, the aesthetic creates a visual dialogue reminiscent of the fluidity found in works by Pol Chambost or the Vallauris school. The distinctive form allows the glazed earthenware to serve as a focal point in any modernist interior.
