About the Item

Wall-mounted glazed ceramic plaque featuring a figurative composition of a puppeteer and his marionette, crafted in a vitrified enamel with crackled effects and a geometric style rooted in Scandinavian modernism. The scene is built from angular forms and fractured lines, with a palette dominated by earthy browns, ochres, and deep blues. The glazed surface presents rich textural contrasts, with subtle reflective areas that enhance the visual depth. The marionette is rendered in golden-yellow hues, providing a striking contrast with the main figure and creating a balanced visual dialogue. Signed in the lower left corner, this ceramic mural was likely produced in Sweden around 1960, within the context of mid-century studio ceramic work. Composed of multiple tiles forming a vertical panel, it retains its original hanging system and remains in excellent condition. This glazed ceramic plaque is a strong and elegant example of mid-century Scandinavian design, appreciated for both its artistic clarity and the quality of its craftsmanship.
