Ceramic sculpture depicting a man throwing a bowling ball, USA, 1940.

United States of America circa 1940.

This is a hand-formed ceramic piece (or slip-cast and meticulously hand-finished).Color Palette: Characterized by a nostalgic mid-century American aesthetic, featuring bold tones applied in a rich, painterly style rather than flat glazes. The coppery-green glaze of the shirt transitions into subtle gradients, while the trousers display rich undertones of iron/manganese red. The bowling ball stands out with its dense, glossy black glaze, which is beautifully accented by a fine, dense craquelure pattern in the clear overglaze.While the style pays homage to the thriving American market for humorous and satirical ceramic figurines that developed between 1930 and 1950, this piece is a later, whimsical interpretation of that classic era. Below the shoe is the Peck signature in cursive. United States of America circa 1940.
