Béla Mihály mortar POT _ 1420

This compact planter by Béla Mihály (1930-2001) carries a dense, mortar-like form - grounded, tactile, and quietly monumental despite its size. The thick walls and contained volume give it a sense of weight and stability.
The surface is finished in a textured matte glaze blending turquoise, white, and graphite tones. The mineral-like effect recalls weathered stone or sediment layers, emphasizing the physicality of the material.
Mihály Béla was a Hungarian ceramic and applied artist working in the postwar period, creating objects that move between function and sculpture. His work is defined by a sensitivity to material, where glaze and form are inseparable, and where even small objects carry a strong presence.
