Studio Pottery Vase Signed Melina Xenaki Handmade Lino-Cut, Cycladic Horse Motif
Melina Xenaki Wheel-Thrown Tapered Cylinder Vase. Lino-cut decoration on matte white ground. Cycladic / bronze-age style horse & abstract motifs. Signed MX to base. One of a short exhibition run produced for. Tent London Design Fair, 2016. A leading platform for emerging and established designer-makers. Not a general production piece. A confident, tall cylinder vase in off-white stoneware with a deliberately raw, matte surface. Printed in a high-impact dense black and decorated with stylised Cycladic horse and sun motifs. The reverse carries a striped chevron pattern. Design characteristic of Xenaki’s archaeological sensibility, drawing directly from Bronze Age visual language and her Greek heritage. Melina Xenaki trained at UCA Farnham (BA, first class honours) and the Royal College of Art (MA). Now working from her native Greece, Xenaki is a well-regarded, exhibited artist whose career is in full flight. She is commissioned in high-end architectural collaborations and has designed ranges for the shops of the British Museum and Benaki Museum. Please note this is a functional wheel-thrown studio piece – not a hand-built sculptural gallery edition – and is priced accordingly. Approx dimensions: 26.2cm H, 8.3cm W (base), 7.5cm W (top rim). This will be carefully packed and posted promptly with full tracking. I endeavour to accurately describe and photograph any flaws I detect in the interests of transparency. Please bear in mind that my objects are pre-owned and vintage pieces (sometimes older still) and as such a certain amount of normal wear is to be expected.
