Product description
This sculptural stoneware piece from the 20th century is a distinct example of artisan work in gres, directly inspired by the natural form of a chestnut burr. The artist skillfully utilized contrasting glazes to create visual and tactile depth. The main body features a textured, matte-finish glaze in earthy beige and cream tones, capturing the organic quality of the husk. This surface contrasts with the robust, hand-modelled spikes. A defining feature is the top section, finished in a deep, dark, high-gloss glaze that mimics the smooth chestnut emerging from its burr. It is a compelling work that balances a raw, almost brutalist presence with a refined celebration of natural forms.
