If the "surrealistic" adjective can ever be given to a pottery vase... I think we've got it at home.
We know nothing about this vase except that it is a Valencian majolica from the 1950s... that's all but, in any case, we really don't care about it because this vase is totally Dalinian: the soft volumes, like melted Gruyère cheese; the red veins all over the putrid green surface... we really can imagine this vase as the scale model for a 12 meters high sculpture placed in the middle of a desert, just like in one of Dalí's paintings!
A STUNNNER AND A WINNER :) Very cool !!!!!
Thanks for your "first love", Sean :)

Guys, we just found one vase from the same artist in the cellar... I'll try and take the picture as soon as possible so you can all see it.
I am afraid I don't even know how much stuff we've got :)
looks like something from the Dali museum! Something that would have set on his desk. SWEETNESS!
Thanks Budek and Aldo for loving it!
Thanks for the comment GlueChip! No doubt he would have loved it!!! :)
wow! magnifico!
are there any marks on the bottom? it reminds me of 'Memphis' - Milan pieces from the 1980s.
Thanks very much for stoping and loving ho2cultcha, bratjd and Vintagepuissant!
No marks at all ho2cultcha. Not long ago I found a design by Antonia Campi with a very simmilar top rim... It's not extrange it reminds you of Memphis, as they played a lot with visual refferences from the 1950s and Art Deco, and i think whoever made this vase was playing with Surrealism.
In any case, this vase was made 20 years before Memphis :)
wonderful! thank you austrohungaro!
Thanks for your love Vrgdf!!!
