Rare Vintage Susana Espinosa Abstract Leaf Motif Pottery Plate, Circa 1990s
Rare Vintage Susana Espinosa Abstract Leaf Motif Pottery Plate, Circa 1990s. This shallow plate is designed around an abstract geometric leaf motif rendered in soft pastel tones of pink, greens and blue. The surface design is created by carving away sections of the glaze before firing to offer a multi-dimensional and textured look. Small stars are also carved into the blue glaze on the right side of the piece, along with Espinosa’s signature. Designed to be hung on a wall rather than for utilitarian use.
Ceramicist and draftswoman, Espinosa currently lives and works in Puerto Rico, well known for her countless ceramic mural commissions around the island. Espinosa is reputably Puerto Rico’s most important Modernist potter. She has belonged to the International Academy of Ceramics since 1989 and her work has won medals and honorable mentions at many international events. Her work is part of the Museum of Contemporary Art of Puerto Rico, Museum of Latin American Art, among many others.
Condition: Excellent vintage condition. No flaws.
