The Guardian
£270
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A mid century earthenware sculpture, with a personality that is both grounded and otherworldly.

The body is a rounded, drum-like form, elevated on four sturdy, column-like legs, giving it a sense of both stability and animation. The surface is coated in a rich turquoise-green glaze, decorated with bold, hand-painted oval motifs.

The glaze drips downward in thick, dark trails, creating a sense of movement, like something slowly transforming over time.

Rising from the body is a narrow neck and bulbous head, topped with a cluster of curling, tentacle-like forms. This crown-like structure gives the sculpture a slightly surreal, organic presence, and introduces a subtle sense of watchfulness or awareness.

The piece sits somewhere between artifact and fantasy, creating a tension between playfulness and mystery.

There are a few losses to the ‘tentacles’ on the head of this vintage sculpture, but it is otherwise in a good and stable condition.
