Head of a Woman, Ceramic Sculpture, American Studio Pottery 1970s
Located in Clifton Springs, NY
Vintage Modernist ceramic sculpture features a head of young woman, made from raw terracotta and sculpted using the hands and small tools. The model's hair is arranged in low bun on the back of her head; she is looking straight forward with calm, serene expression on her face, delivering a real presence within the room.
The bust is in very good vintage condition with beautiful patina commensurate with age. It is marked on the front with what we believe is a name of the model and the date, either 1971 or 1977, but it's missing the artist signature or stamp. The bust was found in an estate of American studio pottery collector in Western New York area with an extensive collection of early, Mid Century, and contemporary pottery, including multiple pieces signed Almond NY or created by artists working in that area. It is highly probable that the bust was created as a custom order by one of the studio potteries in the area of Almond or Alfred, renowned for the technical creativity and advancements in ceramic art in School of American Craftsman and Alfred University, as well as the early 1900s studio pottery movement in America, the Arts and Crafts phase of studio pottery, and Modernist movement. Arthur E. Baggs, Charles F. Binns, and Linn L Phelan...

Large Antique Hand Carved Sandstone Sculpture, Bust of Christ with Display Stand
Located in Lisse, NL
Top quality and mint condition bust sculpture from the early 1900s with maker's name.
This incredibly well carved bust of Jesus is impressive both for its quality and its large size. With His head bowed down like in His final hours on the cross this design is obviously perfect for displaying on a tall stand. In this case a tall and ebonized wooden pedestal was used and thanks to the contrasting colors of this bust and its pedestal they are like a match made in heaven. The master sculptor / artist could not have done a better job in hand carving the exhausted yet serene facial expression of Christ. The large size of this bust combined with the rare sandstone material makes this work of religious art look extra ancient. Because of its size this archetype of Christianity can also be seen and worshipped from further away. Unfortunately we cannot read the name of the skilled artisan who signed this unique sculpture. Thanks to its amazing quality, its excellent condition, its deeper meaning and its powerful presence this work of religious art will never fail to impress, no matter where you decide to have it on display. For it to have come our way felt like a blessing and to be able to offer it to the 1stdibs community in this amazing condition is an honour for us.
Our fair price for this museum worthy sculpture again includes perfect packing and also worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 to 6 days.

The presence of vintage and antique bust sculptures can add a necessary decorative layer to any interior. And just because a statue looks classical doesn't mean it has to be conventional.
A touch of whimsy, a dose of drama — a single bust can alter a room. And when placed in just the right spot, these statues can almost feel alive.
“They give humanity in a way that a more abstract sculpture can’t give,” says Los Angeles designer Timothy Corrigan, who loves pieces that beg to be touched. For a welcoming entry hall project in California, Corrigan selected an antique Persian rug and a bust that invites you to touch it. A collection of sculptures in wood, marble and brass complement the star of the show.
For Consort cofounder and creative director Mat Sanders, a bust doesn’t have to be pretty. “I most enjoy busts that are a little busted,” Sanders jokes — but choose something with a soul you can live with, as “sculpture representative of the human form carries with it an energy you will add to the space.”
The antique and vintage bust sculptures for sale on 1stDibs include Art Deco busts, mid-century modern busts and more.
