Mid-Century Modern Ceramic Figurine on Heart, 15-Inch
About the Item
This captivating ceramic wall decoration from the mid-20th century is a unique piece of European studio art, handcrafted by a skilled pottery artist. It features a stylized female figure, sculpted with smooth, flowing lines that emphasize the contours of the form. The figure is poised gracefully upon a vivid red heart, a universal symbol of love and passion.
The rich, glossy red glaze that adorns the heart is speckled with deeper accents, creating a lively and textured appearance. This contrasts with the more subdued tones of the figure, whose detailed craftsmanship is highlighted by the careful application of a lustrous, translucent glaze. Such a contrast not only draws the eye but also accentuates the artistry of the piece.
The figurine and heart together may suggest themes of love, femininity, and vitality, resonating with the cultural and artistic movements of the mid-century that celebrated form, expression, and the human experience. The use of color and form exemplifies the period's fascination with combining traditional motifs with contemporary design.
This piece is emblematic of the era's innovative approach to ceramics, where functional objects were transformed into expressive works of art. It would have been a statement decoration in a mid-century modern home, reflecting the period's artistic sensibilities and the personal touch of the creator.
