Description from the seller
Elisabeth Vandeweghe (born 1946) & Perignem – Important free-standing sculpture in glazed ceramic with gold and bronze (c. 1970)
Lot description:
Magnificent and rare table sculpture (or free-standing sculpture) in chamotte ceramic with a stylized motif, attributed to the Belgian ceramic artist Elisabeth Vandeweghe for the renowned Perignem workshop in Beernem.

The underside shows the characteristic reddish-brown terracotta of the workshop, equipped with its original protective glides.
