AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
ONE-OF-A-KIND PIECE HANDMADE AND SIGNED
Description of the object:
Sublime ceramic art vase in glazed stoneware, from the famous pottery town of La Bisbal d'Empordà (Spain). This piece is an authentic creation from the PLANAS workshop, as evidenced by the hand-etched signature under the base.
With a prestigious height of 33 cm, this vase commands attention with its elegance and material contrast. The upper part is covered with an intense, glossy black glaze (mirror finish), which falls into organic drips on a body in ochre and sage green tones. One can admire a splendid work of glaze crackling beneath the glaze, typical of Catalan know-how from the 60s/70s.
Highlights for your collection:
HANDMADE AND SIGNED: Every detail of the glaze and shape is unique.
NOBLE MATERIAL: Heavy and robust glazed stoneware, high-quality glossy finish.
GENEROUS DIMENSIONS: Height 33 cm | Diameter 9 cm (a centerpiece for a sideboard or credenza).
STYLE: Perfect for Mid-Century Modern, Vintage Chic, or Cabinet of Curiosities decor.
Condition:
Pristine vintage condition. No cracks, no chips. The glaze has retained all its original brilliance.
