About the Item

This ceramic head sculpture was produced in West Germany during the 1970s, a period when ceramic design combined technical mastery with a refined sculptural approach. The piece is finished with a glossy white glaze, which highlights the subtle modeling of facial features and the delicate craftsmanship. Over time, the surface has developed a natural craquelure, creating depth and emphasizing the passage of decades, while small firing marks are consistent with the original production process. The condition is excellent, with no chips or structural damage. With its minimalist white finish and carefully sculpted form, this head functions both as a decorative bust and as a collectible example of West German ceramic artistry. It represents the mid-century European design ethos and offers an elegant presence for both private interiors and curated collections.
