Giuliette Small Bowl – / Vase – Faces In Relief – Jonathan Adler

Coming from the Muse collection by Jonathan Adler, this vase pays homage to Giuliette, one of Jonathan Adler’s muses. Giuliette showcases the features of a feminine face, represented on either side of the object. Sculptural and atypical, the vases by Jonathan Adler have the peculiarity of bringing out in relief, poetically and surreally, parts of the body (face, nipples, etc.) borrowed from these idealised women whom our greatest artists took as their muses. Each piece is made of unglazed porcelain, with a mat finish that enhances the effect produced by the 3D pattern. Ceramicist, designer and internationally renowned interior designer, Jonathan Adler first became passionate about terracotta and exhibited his first pottery collection at Barneys in New York in 1993. “Earth is the basis of my work and will always be” affirms Jonathan Adler. For each ceramic piece from the collection, a prototype is made from clay in Jonathan Adler’s workshop located in the achingly hip SoHo neighbourhood of New York.
