Huge Vintage Cubist School Polychrome Ceramic Charger – Circa 1960

Huge Vintage Cubist School Polychrome Ceramic Charger – Circa 1960 Brief Description: This is a wonderfully bold and highly decorative vintage polychrome ceramic charger, dating to circa 1960 and decorated in a striking Cubist/Modernist manner. This impressive large-scale charger features a dramatic stylised human face occupying the centre, executed with strong geometric forms and a particularly vibrant palette of turquoise, cobalt blue, coral red, ochre yellow, black and cream. The expressive mask-like face is surrounded by a radiating geometric border and further stylised foliate decoration, creating a wonderfully theatrical composition with considerable visual impact. Entirely hand-painted, the decoration retains the irregularities and visible brushwork associated with studio pottery and individually decorated ceramics. The turquoise-glazed outer rim provides a particularly attractive contrast to the polychrome central design. The charger is substantially made, with a broad shallow body raised upon a circular foot. The reverse remains predominantly cream glazed and displays the natural characteristics of its manufacture and age. A fabulous statement piece which would display magnificently either mounted upon a wall or presented on a suitable plate stand. Attributes: Vintage Ceramic Charger Cubist / Modernist School Polychrome Hand-Painted Decoration European School Circa 1960 Condition: The charger remains in good decorative vintage condition overall, with age-related crazing to the glaze, surface marks, glaze irregularities, minor firing imperfections and areas of wear commensurate with its age and handmade nature.
