Tank top vase

“Marcel Tank Top” Biscuit Porcelain Vase – Michael Harvey, 1980s. Made in Canada. A rare and humorous piece by Michael Harvey, a contemporary ceramicist renowned for his unconventional and sculptural approach to everyday forms. This porcelain biscuit vase, entitled “Marcel Tank Top, ” captures the iconic silhouette of the famous men's undershirt with a realism that is both surprising and poetic. Created in the 1980s, it perfectly illustrates the pop and ironic spirit of that era, when design played with the codes of the mundane to create works of art in their own right. The matte texture of the biscuit porcelain highlights the finesse of the craftsmanship and the details of the textile, while the elongated shape lends the piece an elegant strangeness. Label by the designer Harvey and composition: 100% Clay. A minimalist yet bold collector's item, perfect for a contemporary interior, a gallery, or a collection of postmodern ceramics.
