This modernist ceramic female figure presents a compelling intersection of sculptural art and functional design. Characterised by its stylised silhouette and expressive hand-painted details, the piece embodies the playful yet sophisticated aesthetic of mid-century figurative ceramics. The canonical form captures the imagination, elevating a traditional household object into a statement work of art.
Crafted entirely from glazed ceramic, the object functions ingeniously as a pitcher or vase, featuring an integrated handle and spout seamlessly incorporated into the reverse of the figure. The colour palette combines a soft blue bodice with a beige skirt, accented by delicate multi-colour floral motifs and textured detailing in the hair. The base bears an incised signature, indicating its artisanal origins and bespoke studio craftsmanship. The tactile quality of the glaze further enhances the dimensional presence of the sculpture.
The piece remains in good vintage condition, preserving its structural integrity and original hand-painted finish. The surface exhibits a natural patina consistent with age and careful display, contributing to its authentic character without detracting from its overall visual appeal.
This distinctive ceramic work serves as an engaging focal point within contemporary, eclectic, or vintage-inspired interiors. It pairs exceptionally well with organic modern decor, offering both sculptural interest on a curated sideboard and practical utility as a highly unique vessel.
It measures approximately 30 cm tall.
Weight approx. 1250 grams.
