Description from the seller

Fascinating sculptural vase from a royal collection, crafted in ultra-dense raw terracotta, featuring a peculiar coarse grain with added chamotte that gives the surface a marked and extraordinary tactile roughness with a mineral feel.

The piece combines the traditional wheel-throwing technique — evident in the inner grooves — with a six-point star manual shaping, featuring geometric and enveloping lines. Of notable heft and weight (a solid 3.6 kg for 27 cm in height), this piece fully embodies the Brutalist and organic aesthetics typical of avant-garde interior design of the 1970s/1980s.

Dimensions: Height 27 cm, top diameter 20 cm
Weight: 3.6 kg
Material: Chamottated refractory terracotta / natural matte unglazed ceramic
