XL Ceramic Bowl By Elio Schiavon with Figural Motifs, Italy 1960s

XL ceramic bowl by Elio Schiavon (1925–2004), Italy 1960s. The bowl stands out for its exceptional scale and refined, archaic drawings with a modest use of colour. Hand-sculpted in a free-form bowl shape, the surface is worked directly in the wet clay, where incised figures create a subtle relief and textured depth. Finished in a soft white glaze, the carved lines are filled with a deep brown-red, almost aubergine-toned pigment. The same pigment is used to draw linear, figural motifs before firing, resulting in a layered and expressive composition.In his own kiln, Schiavon produced both more commercial work and unique, one-off creations of archaic inspiration. This bowl belongs to the latter: a fully handmade monotype, conceived as a sculptural object rather than a functional piece. We have two unique bowls available. Offered individually, each stands strong on its own, yet together they create a compelling dialogue. The bowl remains in excellent, authentic condition.
