About the Item
A striking example of 1970s ceramic artistry, this sculptural piece embodies the raw elegance of the Brutalist movement, paired with the sensual, organic lines reminiscent of mid-century biomorphic design. Rendered in richly bronze-glazed ceramic, the sculpture features three polished globes emerging from an undulating, draped base—suggesting themes of emergence, protection, and dynamic balance.
The form evokes the spirit of artists such as Hans Coper and Ruth Duckworth, while the textured, molten appearance of the glaze recalls the experimental finishes of Vallauris studio pottery or Marcello Fantoni’s mid-century ceramic works. At the same time, the abstraction and weighty presence connect it to the broader Brutalist design ethos of the time, akin to sculptural furniture and objects by Paul Evans or Willy Guhl.
This unique piece serves as both sculpture and object, suitable for collectors drawn to postmodern ceramics or interiors that celebrate textural contrast and sculptural form. It would sit beautifully in a gallery-style setting or alongside other collectible 20th-century decorative arts
