Nicaraguan Furniture

A striking hand-thrown and hand-decorated ceramic bud vase by Nicaraguan master ceramicist Pedro Guerrero of San Juan de Oriente, Nicaragua, distinguished by its sculptural disc form...

Unusual asymmetrical ceramic vase with partially rounded and partially dimpled body is decorated with carved abstract repeating geometric designs that help accentuate the complex, free-formed shape of the piece. Reserved, earthy dark caramel and chocolate brown palette lets hand carved, highly detailed, richly textured pattern to take center stage. The patterns follow the shape of the vase, hugging its curvature and guiding the eye along its lines; the base and the top of the vase are accentuated with solid chocolate brown glaze with incised concentric details. The vase is unsigned; in a separate listing we are offering a vase done in similar style and technique by Roger Calero, a renowned Nicaraguan ceramic artist. This vase could be attributed to the same artist, or it could be created by another Nicaraguan art...

Alejandro Aróstegui “Cráter Chatarra” Mixed-Media Still Life, 1979 A monumental mixed-media still life on wood by important Nicaraguan modernist Alejandro Aróstegui, titled Cráter Chatarra, or Scrap-Metal Crater. Signed and dated “A. Aróstegui 79” at the upper left, the work retains its original Galería Tagüe label from Managua, Nicaragua. Aróstegui isolates a single piece of crushed industrial refuse against a nearly black, atmospheric background. The central object remains deliberately ambiguous: it resembles a flattened metal container or commercial satchel, while its broad central seam and divided lower sections also suggest a pair of empty breeches or trousers. Its buckled upper edge folds inward to form the dark concavity identified in the title as a crater. Red striping and the partial black letter “P” survive across the distressed surface, indicating that the source material—or the object represented—may once have been part of a painted sign, branded sack, industrial container...
