About the Item

This expressive bronze pitcher was created by French sculptor Max Bré around 1970. Its organic silhouette is enhanced by a raw, textured surface and a bold, sculptural handle that coils upward in a dramatic curve. The asymmetrical spout adds movement and tension to the form, evoking the Brutalist ethos of material honesty and expressive gesture. Both functional and artistic, the piece reflects Bré’s deep understanding of volume and texture. Rare on the market, it stands as a powerful example of mid-century French metalwork, where design meets sculpture.
