AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
David Marshall – Large Brutalist sculptural centerpiece in ceramic and brass – Spain – 20th Century
Designer: David Marshall
Era: 1970s–1980s
Style: Brutalist and Art Deco
Materials: Dark ceramic and brass
Dimensions: 35 × 35 × 22 cm
Condition: Good overall condition, with signs of use and aging in keeping with its era.
Description
Original sculptural centerpiece designed by David Marshall, renowned for his decorative and sculptural creations that combine metals with a brutalist appearance.
The piece features a wide circular bowl of dark ceramic, with an irregular textured surface and artisanal finish, on which rises a striking abstract composition of golden brass.
The central element, with curved and asymmetrical shapes, constitutes an authentic sculpture that provides movement, verticality, and a strong visual contrast with the sobriety of the ceramic.
Its design blends Brutalist and Art Deco influences, characteristics of many David Marshall decorative creations from the late 20th century.
Thanks to its generous 35 cm diameter, it can be used as a fruit bowl, a centerpiece, or a standalone sculptural piece.
Identification and authenticity
The bottom retains the original manufacturer’s label, with the inscription:
DAVID MARSHALL – DISEÑOS, S.A.
SEVILLA – SPAIN
MADE IN SPAIN
It also features a small metal identifying emblem inside the bowl.
These elements allow identifying the piece as a creation marketed by the firm David Marshall Diseños.
Condition report

A singular decorative piece, with notable sculptural presence, especially interesting for collectors of 20th-century design, brutalist objects, and vintage decorative arts. Pieces with David Marshall ceramic work are truly hard to find.
