Cosmic Midnight Blue Mid-Century Ceramic Cross

About the Item

This ceramic cross exemplifies the innovative spirit of mid-century European studio pottery, marrying traditional religious symbolism with a distinctly modern aesthetic. The handcrafted piece features a deep, midnight blue glaze that evokes the vastness of the cosmos, while a central starburst motif in radiant turquoise offers a vivid contrast, perhaps signifying the divine light in the darkness. The cross's unconventional shape, with its broad, flared arms and indented edges, reflects the era's exploration of form and its departure from strict geometric lines. The glazing technique results in a rich, fluid appearance, giving the piece a dynamic, almost otherworldly glow. Our large collection of mid century European crosses 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. Merging artistic expression with traditional religious iconography, blending established symbols, motifs, and narratives with contemporary artistic styles. This thoughtful and deliberate endeavor demands both artistic skill and a profound understanding of the cultural and spiritual significance of the subject matter. Through this synthesis, artists create works that reflect their individual creativity while honoring centuries-old traditions of religious imagery. The resulting artworks resonate with both aesthetic and spiritual significance, offering viewers a seamless integration of artistic and religious elements.
