Sphere VASE by Éva Bod _ 935

This large sphere vase by Éva Bod showcases her characteristic mastery of glaze and form, featuring a soft palette of beige, brown, and mauve tones that subtly merge across the surface.
This hand-thrown ceramic vase by Éva Bod (1924–2004) reflects the artistic and technical sophistication that made her one of the defining figures of mid-20th-century Hungarian ceramics. Working between the boundaries of craft and art, Bod was celebrated for her sensitivity to form and her masterful glaze experiments, rich, layered surfaces where color and texture seem to shift with the light.
Created between the 1960s and 1980s, her vases often blend earthy tones with molten, mineral-like finishes, revealing both control and spontaneity in the firing process. Each piece carries traces of the hand and the kiln, subtle irregularities that speak to a deep engagement with material and process.
Beyond their functional form, Bod’s works embody the quiet modernism of postwar Hungarian applied arts, objects rooted in utility yet elevated by artistic vision.
