ABOUT PRODUCTID 32884
This porcelain obelisk, produced in the renowned Zsolnay manufactory in Hungary in the 1970s, exemplifies decorative modernist art with a subtle Art Deco influence. Measuring 14 cm in height, with a maximum diameter of 9 cm and a 6 cm base, the piece features a stylized, geometric obelisk form with a sharply pointed top and a circular base. Four sculpted horse heads emerge from the lower section, adding a dynamic accent, while vertical, column-like reliefs evoke classical architectural motifs. The surface is finished with Zsolnay’s signature eosin glaze, imparting a highly reflective, iridescent effect dominated by rich green and gold, shifting to blue and turquoise highlights depending on the light. The porcelain is smooth and even, with the glaze applied uniformly. The obelisk is preserved in excellent condition—there are no signs of wear, chips, or damage; all details are original and well maintained. Within this compact sculpture resonates the voice of 1970s Hungarian design, which ambitiously reinterpreted decorative traditions through the lens of modern form. The obelisk, shimmering with different hues at every angle, invites a play of light and color. The horse heads emerging from the base evoke movement and strength, reflecting Zsolnay artisans’ fascination with detail and mythology. The object quietly narrates an era where refined craftsmanship met the search for new, more abstract modes of expression. The Zsolnay obelisk can be displayed on a console or shelf in the living room, where its iridescent glaze will catch the natural light and create delicate reflections.
