About the Item

Rare and witty piece by Michael Harvey, a contemporary ceramic artist known for his playful, sculptural approach to everyday forms. This biscuit porcelain vase, titled “Débardeur Marcel”, humorously mimics the shape of a classic French tank top, blending realism with poetic simplicity. Created in the 1980s, it perfectly embodies the pop and ironic spirit of the era, transforming the mundane into a refined work of art. The matte porcelain surface enhances the textile-like texture and highlights the elegant, elongated silhouette. A collector’s piece, both minimalist and striking, ideal for a contemporary home, gallery display, or a collection of postmodern ceramics.
