This original mid-century Malagueña ceramic flowerpot with green details, created by the renowned Cerámica Hermanos Morillo, is a standout example of traditional Málaga craftsmanship. Founded in 1941 by José Morillo, the creator of this type of flowerpot among other beautiful pieces, it features the iconic and unmistakable design of handles with knotted fabric in relief, which became a hallmark of Malagueña craftsmanship. The pottery was originally located in Colonia Santa Inés, within the grounds of the significant and historic Cerámica Santa Inés factory, established in 1879. Pieces from Cerámica Hermanos Morillo have decorated emblematic places such as Picasso's Birthplace and the Museum of Popular Arts, reflecting their deep roots in Málaga's culture. What makes this flowerpot special is its history and artisanal quality. Each piece is handmade, following traditional techniques passed down through generations. The flowerpot is not just a decorative item but also a testament to Málaga's rich cultural heritage, reflecting the dedication and skill required to create such a piece, as well as its rarity and authenticity. History and provenance: This flowerpot is part of a pottery tradition dating back to the 1940s.

The pieces from this pottery are now collector's items, valued for their quality and connection to Andalusian history. This flowerpot has been crafted using unique artisanal processes, utilizing clay extracted from the quarry, now known as the Laguna de la Barrera.

Biography: Paul Evans (American , 1927-1993) Born in Brooklyn, New York, Paul Evans is an American furniture designer and sculptor best known for his work in American Furniture design and the American craft movement. His work was influential to many furniture manufacturers in the second half of the 20th century, most notably Directional Furniture. He often used non-traditional materials and techniques like sculpted metal furniture. His work with Directional Furniture was extremely fruitful and during that time he started several series including their Argente, Sculpted Bronze, and Cityscape series. Evans started his career making copper chests and sculpted steel cabinets -- both of which are highly sought after today. Paul Evans’s work with Directional Furniture changed the relationship between creative directors and the companies they worked for. His name helped sell pieces, and he was consciously aware of that fact. As a proponent of modernism, Evans became an innovator in the furniture world. His patrons were often part of the New York elite, and he was able to enjoy sustained success, helped in large part by his ability to evolve with the times -- from craft-based in the 1950s to more flashy pieces in the 1970s and 1980s. His work was mostly recently featured at the Michener Art Museum and was the subject of a 2014 documentary. What kind of art does Paul Evans make? Paul Evans was primarily a furniture designer and sculptor. Though he started within the American Craft movement, Evans is hard to pin down stylistically. An expert metalworker and sculptor, several of Evans pieces were heavily influenced by the shipbuilding industry. As he moved through his career, his pieces became more stylistically diverse, but through it all there is a dedication to craft and function. Much of Evans work is best showcased in his work for Directional Furniture. He had several iconic lines including Patchwork Copper, Pewter and Brass, and the extremely popular CItyscape Series. In the 1980s, Evans branched off on his own with his Think Tank series. He opened his own showroom in New York City, but eventually retired in 1987. How did painter Paul Evans get started? Paul Evans was born on May 20th, 1931 in Newton, Pennsylvania. He studied sculpture and silversmithing at a number of colleges including the Philadelphia Textile Institute, the Rochester Institute of Technology, and the School for American Craftsmen. In the early 1950s, he attended the Cranbook Academy of Art in Michigan, later moving back to Pennsylvania to work with his mentor and guide, Phillip Loyd Powell. Together they began a business heavily influenced by the work of George Nakashima. Powell worked wood pieces, while Evans dedicated himself to metal. Evans burst onto the scene in the late 1960s and early 1970s as the American Craft movement exploded in popularity. From there he parlayed his popularity into a lucrative career with Directional Furniture. How much are Paul Evans pieces worth? Paul Evans furniture pieces can vary in value greatly, from a few thousand dollars on the low end to over $200,000 on the high end. In 2015 a Paul Evans wavy...
