Giant vase sculpture C. Fernandez 1950

Monumental ceramic vase by the artist carlos fernandez in the 1950s-60s. (born in 1904, in bulgaria, in a wealthy family, he led a free life as a rich bourgeois, settled in paris, ran a factory and got married. The second world war turned his life upside down. At the end of the 1940s, he trained in ceramics in aix-en-provence, with jo and jean amado, before creating his own workshop.). Black and white decoration and cf aix signature. It will give a unique and authentic touch to your decor. Very good general condition, only 1 defect taken in a detail photo, and a line that runs halfway down the neck (as visible in the photos, it is not a crack or a fissure). Carlos fernandez liked to push the size limits for his creations (this vase reaches mid-thigh, I am 1m60). This implies that he created his works in 2 parts, joined together for firing or that he lifted them to glaze them with a tool that leaves a mark because it is very heavy (7kg fired and dry, therefore heavier before firing). Unique piece. Dimensions: h 53 cm, diam. 30 cm.
