About the Item

Striking glazed ceramic mask created by the renowned Accolay ceramic workshop, France, circa 1960. Measuring 49.5 cm in height and 32 cm in width, this sculptural piece exemplifies the bold creativity and craftsmanship for which Accolay became known during the mid-20th century. With its expressive facial features and stylized contours, the mask embodies the playful yet sophisticated spirit of French modernist ceramics. The richly textured glaze—subtle in tone yet visually dynamic—enhances the piece’s sculptural depth and artisanal quality. The Accolay collective, formed by a group of former apprentices of Alexandre Kostanda, produced a wide range of unique ceramics that combined utility with abstract artistry. This piece reflects their distinctive approach, merging folk influence, modernist aesthetics, and a tactile relationship to clay. Perfect as a wall-mounted artwork or displayed on a stand, this mask adds a powerful decorative statement to both vintage and contemporary interiors.
