Surrealist Porcelain Sculpture of an Ear
About the Item
A conversation starter, a Dada homage, a quirky bit to hang on a wall or stack on a coffee table, who doesn't need a random body part or two, rendered in porcelain?
René Magritte, Salvador Dalí, Giorgio De Chirico, all wonderfully playful Surrealist artists of their time, and influential into future eras.
The creator of this piece is unknown, yet this cheeky piece harkens to a more whimsical time, one where laughter was as important as more serious art. A clever and lovely use of glazed bone china, this giant ear lays flat on a coffee table, graces a stack of books, or could be a clever shallow dish for a few pieces of jewelry to rest at the end of the day, on a nightstand.
We can include the very nice, articulating chrome display stand, at buyer's request, at no additional charge.
