Mid Century Thin Glossy Red Ceramic Wall Cross with Embossed Circles Pattern

About the Item

This modernist European Studio Pottery ceramic wall cross is characterized by its slender form and glossy red finish, adorned with an embossed circles pattern that spans the entire cross's face, reminding elements of early Christianism. The vibrant shade of red, red-orange / vermillion, radiates brilliantly, further accentuated by the glossy glazing. The white reflections on the surface complement the embossed circles pattern. Our European cross collection (Tradition & Modernism) is composed of one-of-a-kind, handcrafted pieces made by Studio Pottery artists from the 1950s to 1970s. They show a range of diverse styles, from modernism to brutalism. Each artist has taken a unique approach to depict faith through the language of art and the medium of ceramics. This large collection offers an opportunity to curate a custom wall of modernist crucifixes, and appeals to those who appreciate the symbolism and beauty of religious artifacts.
