Crafted in Czechoslovakia during the iconic 1960s "Brussels Style" era, the piece is attributed to the renowned Czech artist and designer Jitka Forejtová and produced by the Jihokera ceramic workshop in České Budějovice.The sculpture depicts a nude woman on a minimalist rectangular base, captured in a graceful pose with her hands raised to her hair. It is made of textured, rustic chamotte (fireclay) ceramic, which gives the surface a rich, organic feel. The warm, reddish-brown patinated finish beautifully accentuates the fluid lines and contours of the modernist form. This piece is a wonderful example of post-war Eastern European ceramic art, perfect for any mid-century modern interior or art collection. See less
