Unique, Sculptural Ceramic Vase in Cream with Black Accents
By Alex Kovacs (b.1992)
Located in New York, NY
This unique, slab-built vase by American-artist Alex Kovacs is titled 'Big Squiggle Vessel' and is exactly that, a Big Squiggle. The wavy-shaped vessel features hand-painted enameled details like star and flame motifs, inspired by the graphic language of contemporary fashion. Very fun and sure to spark conversation, the piece is perfect for displaying a single stem flower or tropical botanical leaf, as well as a small bundle of fresh cut flowers or dried branches. Artist Information: Alex Kovacs (b. 1992) is a self-taught ceramic artist and designer from the Greater Boston Area of Massachusetts. He had his first solo show titled “Endless Vessel” in 2018 with Resort Gallery in Baltimore which led to subsequent shows, “Cartoon Graveyard” in 2019 with SuperDutchess (now BelowGrand) in NYC, “Futures Passed” in 2020 with Paradigm Gallery and “Online/ Offline” in 2021 with New Collectors...

Antique and Vintage Ceramics

Whether you’re adding an eye-catching mid-century modern glazed stoneware bowl to your dining table or grouping a collection of decorative plates by color for the shelving in your living room, decorating and entertaining with antique and vintage ceramics is a great way to introduce provocative pops of colors and textures to a space or family meals.

Ceramics, which includes pottery such as earthenware and stoneware, has had meaningful functional value in civilizations all over the world for thousands of years. When people began to populate permanent settlements during the Neolithic era, which saw the rapid growth of agriculture and farming, clay-based ceramics were fired in underground kilns and played a greater role as important containers for dry goods, water, art objects and more.

Today, if an Art Deco floor vase, adorned in bright polychrome glazed colors with flowers and geometric patterns, isn’t your speed, maybe minimalist ceramics can help you design a room that’s both timeless and of the moment. Mixing and matching can invite conversation and bring spirited contrasts to your outdoor dining area. The natural-world details enameled on an Art Nouveau vase might pair well with the sleek simplicity of a modern serving bowl, for example.

In your kitchen, your cabinets are likely filled with ceramic dinner plates. You’re probably serving daily meals on stoneware dishes or durable sets of porcelain or bone china, while decorative ceramic dishes may be on display in your dining room. Perhaps you’ve anchored a group of smaller pottery pieces on your mantelpiece with some taller vases and vessels, or a console table in your living room is home to an earthenware bowl with a decorative seasonal collection of leaves, greenery and acorns.

Regardless of your tastes, however, it’s possible that ceramics are already in use all over your home and outdoor space. If not, why? Whatever your needs may be, find a wide range of antique and vintage ceramics on 1stDibs.
