Francisco FIgueras - Sculpture, 484 - 53 cm - Delftware - 1970

Vase signed by Fco. Figueras, a recognised master ceramic artisan. It is made in Spain. This item is a handcrafted ceramic piece for home decoration, a magnificent example of the decorative style that brought international fame to this workshop during the second half of the 20th century. It is an amphora or decorative vessel with double-handled devouring motifs inspired by the forms of Mediterranean ceramics. The surface features horizontal bands with geometrical motifs carved by hand, highlighting wave-like patterns, dotted incisions, and toothed lines in relief. The exterior finish simulates an aged or oxidized effect. It is regarded as a highly valued piece in interior design of Brutalist, rustic, or Mediterranean style.
