About this seller
Private sellerProduct description
Modernist ceramic vase, made by ceramist Max Idlas in Paris (Montmartre workshop) between the 1950s and 1960s. The piece is numbered 32 under the base.
The flattened body rests on a thick, massive base that elegantly tapers to a foot.
The object is shaped as a unique piece and fired at high temperature to obtain an "oxblood" red enamel, a nuanced, deep, luminous bordeaux enhanced with black, whose shades change depending on light exposure.
A particularly rare and sought-after color variation in the artist's work.
Dimensions: Height 18 cm, width 20 cm, thickness 8 cm
Signature: Incised in hollow under the base "Idlas" and numbered 32, generally corresponding to the model number of the piece.
Condition: Very good general condition for a vintage piece. To be noted for simple transparency: a fine superficial scratch without gravity on the body and, at the neck, slight characteristic manufacturing asperities due to the reactions of metal oxides and high-temperature firing.
