22-Inch Black Ceramic Wall Decoration - Virgin Mary with Anchor Among the Waves

About the Item

Impressive 22-inch ceramic wall decoration depicting the Virgin Mary and Child Jesus in glossy black, with an anchor sitting on turbulent waves. Crafted by a modernist European studio pottery artist, this piece is notably large. The artwork's intricate details are accentuated by the reflective glaze, which brings out the precision of the Virgin Mary's portrayal, the figure of the Child Jesus, the intricacies of the drapery, as well as the anchor and the sea. The meticulous reliefs within this piece showcase the artist's extraordinary mastery of the craft. Our European cross collection is composed of one-of-a-kind, handcrafted pieces made by Studio Pottery artists from the 1950s to 1970s. They show a range of diverse styles, from modernism to brutalism. Each artist has taken a unique approach to depict faith through the language of art and the medium of ceramics. This large collection offers an opportunity to curate a custom wall of modernist crucifixes, and appeals to those who appreciate the symbolism and beauty of religious artifacts.
