He worked as an art potter in a village near Lille and collaborated closely with the publisher "Votre Maison" by Guillerme & Chambron, for whom he created tiles, wall sconces, and decorative elements that became highly sought after by enthusiasts of post-war French design. This glazed ceramic wall mask by Boleslaw Danikowski for "Votre Maison," circa 1960, features a beautiful stylized face with sun-like accents, entirely sculpted in relief, and surrounded by a perforated circular frieze typical of his decorative vocabulary. The very soft, slightly nuanced beige/grey glaze highlights the hollows and volumes. A striking decorative piece, ideal above a sideboard or in a ceramic wall, it adds a touch of Brutalist design and the distinctive ceramic style of the 1960s.
