About the Item
Mid-century ceramic pitcher / vase by Alexandre Kostanda (circa 1960s). This beautiful vessel presents a creamy, glazed base coupled with brown lines and purposeful smudging. The top half of the bulbous shape sports several characters, reminiscent of Aztec warriors stylised for drawings on ancient cave walls. In addition to being visually stunning, the piece is also tactile, reminiscent of stone and earth. In good overall condition. Signed on the underside: 'A. Kostanda Vallauris' along with a stamp of the atelier.
About the Artist: Alexandre Kostanda (1924-2007) was an apprentice to Louis Giraud in Vallauris, France, on the French Riviera. Kostanda later became head of the studio from 1949 to 1953 where his mother, Irene, had also worked for Giraud as a decorator. In 1953 Kostanda founded his own studio. He brought Cluny sandstone clay with him which supported higher cooking temperatures, mixing it with the soil from Vallauris. When others migrated towards bright, shimmering colours, Kostanda preferred to create with colours that retained the natural elements of the clay. His ceramics' rustic appearance surprises with its finesse and balance revealing an exceptional technical mastery of his art.
