Abstract Italian Modernist Ceramic 'Face' Charger
$950

About
Masterful, large Italian ceramic charger depicting an abstract face with martini. Bold colors and a combination of both flat hand painted and raised decoration give the piece added depth / dimension. There appears to be minor loss to the bridge of the nose (a small piece of loss). However, that could be original, given the crude nature of the piece / unevenness and inconsistency of the applied details.
Fitted with a wire for wall-mounting but can used as a tabletop decoration.
Signed 'IR1031 Italy' to the underside.
Measures: H 2" x L 15" x D 12".
