A charming vintage ceramic owl sculpture by celebrated artist Susana Espinosa, handcrafted in Puerto Rico. This whimsical modernist figure features a beautifully rounded form, oversized expressive eyes, and sculptural blue wings contrasted against warm terracotta, black, and soft green glazes.
Rich in texture and character, the surface combines intricate hand-incised detailing, perforated patterns, and geometric ornamentation. A small loose clay element enclosed within the hollow body produces a delightful bell-like rattling sound when gently moved.
Born in Argentina, Espinosa became an influential figure in Puerto Rican studio ceramics, celebrated for her imaginative sculptural forms, distinctive surface treatments, and monumental public art commissions.
A wonderful example of Caribbean modernist pottery, balancing playful folk art sensibilities with sophisticated ceramic craftsmanship.
