Béla Mihály PLATE _ 1436

This ceramic bowl by Béla Mihály (1930-2001) is a signed early work, marked “Mihály 1967 Nov”, offering a direct connection to the artist’s practice.
The surface is defined by a dark, graphite-infused turquoise-green glaze with a textured, slightly rough, matte finish. The tactile quality recalls volcanic rock or weathered mineral surfaces, emphasizing the physicality of the material.
Mihály was a Hungarian ceramic and applied artist working in the postwar period, known for his experimental approach to glaze and form. His works often sit between function and sculpture, where surface, weight, and proportion carry equal importance.
A rare, dated piece - both a functional object and a material document of the artist’s early exploration.
