Artist: Alexander Veniaminovich Kedrin (Александр Вениаминович Кедрин)
Affiliation: Member, Artists’ Union of the USSR (Tashkent branch, Uzbekistan SSR)
Title / Type: Abstract Decorative Ceramic Plate
Medium: High-fired stoneware with layered glazes and fused glass inclusions
Dimensions: Diameter 24 in (approx. 61 cm)
Date: Circa 1970–1980s
Origin: Tashkent, Uzbekistan SSR
This large-scale ceramic plate exemplifies the studio ceramics movement in Soviet Central Asia, where trained fine artists experimented with monumental and decorative forms beyond mass factory production. Kedrin’s work—bearing strong enamel glazes, fused glass texture, and expressive coloration—fits within the late modernist aesthetic of the Tashkent Art-Production Combine, a regional branch supporting Union artists.
The use of molten glass inclusions (deep cobalt, turquoise, and orange crystalline layers) and textural overglazing demonstrates mastery of high-temperature firing techniques. Such large ceramic works were technically demanding, with a high risk of cracking during kiln firing, making successful examples rare and highly valued.
This plate is priced at appraised value reflecting the fact that large studio ceramics by recognized Union members from Central Asia are scarce on the market. Comparable pieces in Moscow and Tashkent auctions achieve between $2,500–$4,500, depending on scale and condition. The appraisal is available upon request.
