Ceramic Sculpture Vase signed TL, 1970s – Postwar European Studio Ceramics

A striking hand-built ceramic sculpture-vase, signed TL, representing the expressive depth of postwar European studio ceramics. The piece evokes a powerful sense of transformation — a vessel that seems both protective and revealing.

The dark, metallic glaze enhances its sculptural presence, while the central fissure unveils a delicately modelled human face emerging from within. This interplay between surface and soul, between the tactile and the transcendental, embodies the emotional and symbolic experimentation that defined the European ceramic art movement of the 1960s–70s.

More than a functional object, this work resonates as a contemplative sculpture  intimate, mysterious, and deeply human.

Material: Glazed ceramic
