Calder Mobile Tribute
Ceramic Vase
Created by
Jean Elton
A light and airy tribute to the master of mobiles.
The top of this OV is remarkable for its distinctive folding of its top edge and a gentle sculpting partially around the work. Named by one of the premier art galleries in the US, this series of surface treatments pays homage to Alexander Calder's intriguing and beautiful mobiles. Both the interior and exterior have a matte finish.
The work is fired first to approximately 1800 degrees F, after which any remaining fine alterations can be made with reduced risk of loss due to breakage. A second firing to about 2100 degrees F brings the process to completion. While most do not use Jean Elton work to hold flowers for display, this work (as all Jean Elton pieces) does hold water.
A certificate of authenticity provided with the sale of each Jean Elton work displays that work's unique serial number found on its underside. Both the work and its certificate are signed by Jean Elton.
