This ceramic wall plaque, crafted by Cortendorf in Germany during the 1970s, features a female profile rendered in high relief. The oval form, measuring 25 x 20 cm, is finished in a cool matte gray and charcoal palette, giving the face and neck a sculptural, almost statuesque quality. The hair, styled in a dynamic ponytail, is accented with a powdery blue and delicate tonal transitions, while the lips stand out in a vivid, glossy red. The plaque’s surface is smooth; facial features and hair are finely modeled, embodying the mid-century modern emphasis on clear form and elegant proportions. Designed to be hung as a wall decoration, the plaque remains in very good condition—only minor paint abrasions are visible, with no cracks or losses and the original ceramic finish intact.This piece echoes the voice of 1970s German modernism: its form conveys the quiet confidence and calm with which daily aesthetics were approached in that era. The restrained gray palette is animated by a solitary flash of red, recalling the influence of pop art yet rooted in European reserve. The relief profile conjures the ambience of a gallery or living room from decades past, where decorative art was both an ornament and a subtle statement of taste.The plaque may be displayed solo on a light-colored wall to highlight its contrast and sculptural depth, or combined with other vintage objects in a wall gallery—paired with minimalist prints, softly contoured mirrors, or mid-century lamps. It works well in a living room, bedroom, or hallway curated with a collector’s eclectic sensibility, where carefully chosen details narrate the story of design from half a century ago.
