Knabstrup Keramik

Signed Knabstrup Wall Relief by Piotr Labuzek Baro

Expressive Danish ceramic art from the 1960s

£74.00

VAT included. Sold under the margin scheme for second-hand goods — no VAT is shown separately.

A fascinating and detailed wall relief from Danish Knabstrup, designed by the artist Piotr Labuzek Baro. The motif consists of a dreamy, sculpted face framed by undulating, organic shapes in a deep palette of blue, turquoise, green, and brown. The heavily crackled glaze gives the piece a vivid expression that contrasts beautifully against the matte, red terracotta clay. An atmospheric and expressive artwork that will be an eye-catcher on the wall.
