Midcentury Ceramic Wall Cross - Hand-Painted Studio Pottery, Europe

About the Item

This midcentury ceramic wall cross, created in a European Pottery Studio, features an uncomplicated design. The Christ silhouette relief on the cross is hand-painted, showcasing a glossy point texture with earthy colors resembling granite. It possesses a discreet presence. 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.
