20 Repoussé Silver-Plated Ceramic Sculpture of a Reclining Female Torso
Per lot
An expressive mixed-media figurative sculpture depicting a reclining female torso in a relaxed, contrapuntal pose. Evoking the voluptuous contours of prehistoric fertility idols combined with the modern tactile aesthetic of folk and brutalist art, the core ceramic form is entirely clad in hand-hammered and chased silver-plated sheet metal. The surface features an eclectic array of embossed relief motifs, including celestial stars, floral elements, geometric grids, tortoises, and inscribed text like "LIVE" and "DREAM," creating a rich, textural narrative over the figure.
The intricate metalwork displays deep oxidation and natural patina in the crevices, enhancing the sculptural depth and highlighting the artisan craftsmanship. It serves as a compelling statement piece for collectors of contemporary ceramic art, modernist figurative sculpture, or metalwork.
Dimensions: 24 cm L x 11 cm W
Condition: Good vintage condition with light surface wear, visible seams characteristic of hand-applied metal sheeting, and an attractive aged patina throughout.
