Jonathan Adler

Misia Vase ceramic white / Ø 10 x H 16 cm - Porcelain

Created by American artist Jonathan Adler, the surrealist vases of the Muse collection are decorated with embossed faces. Sculptural and atypical, the pieces in the Muse collection have the particularity of using embossing to highlight, poetically and surreally, body parts (parts of the face, nipples, etc.) borrowed from these idealised women whom our greatest artists took as their muses. Decorated with an embossed mouth, the Misia vase pays tribute to the legendary Misia Sert, a Polish pianist who was a Parisian muse for various artists and poets. She notably posed for Renoir, Toulous-Lautrec, Bonnard and Odilon Redon. Each piece is made of white unglazed porcelain, with a matte 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 always will be", affirms Jonathan Adler. For each ceramic piece from the collection, a prototype is made by hand in Jonathan Adler's workshop located in the achingly hip SoHo neighbourhood of New York.
