THE ITEM
This chic Modernist work is of mid-century Dutch design.
Crafted from white clay, the form of this piece is that of a stylised UFO shape. The surface bears a finishing of concentric circles which gives a tactile, rippling effect that is complemented by the opening of a clean half-circle. The simple but elegant form makes this an excellent piece for the art of Ikebana [tr. 'making flowers alive'.] and a superb canvas for the beautiful glaze. The gloss glaze is a dappling of pale Turquoise that has been overlaid with the faintest wash of translucent Caramel.
This dignified piece would suit a Minimalist, Modernist or even Contemporary decor themed room.
