Feliciano Abaurre 20" Tall Turquoise Drippy Face Sculpture DP5860 SOLD

Feliciano Abaurre's work is the result of multiple esthetic and functional influences, from South America to Japan, Africa and the US , British and Indian pottery, always playing with the connection of clay and farm, utilitary ware for fermentation and storage.

This commanding 20-inch face jug exemplifies contemporary Southern folk and sculptural ceramics. Handbuilt in stoneware, the vessel features a tall, bottle-form silhouette animated by a subtly emerging face—eyes pressed through layers of heavily textured, cascading glaze. A saturated turquoise ground contrasts with thick, crusted drips of earthy browns, ash whites, and mineral blues, creating a surface that feels eroded, geological, and deeply tactile.

The expressive glaze movement suggests age, ritual, and transformation, while the scale gives the piece strong physical presence. Each angle reveals new details, making it both a sculptural object and a powerful vessel form. Highly collectible, this large-scale face jug is well suited for serious collectors of Southern ceramics, contemporary folk art, and sculptural pottery. It functions as a statement piece—equally compelling in a private collection, gallery setting, or curated interior where materiality and craftsmanship are paramount.

This piece is 20" tall, and about 11" wide.
