This striking bust of a classical warrior captures the spirit of mid-century home artistry. Signed and dated Jeannie 1973, it reflects the height of the 1960s–1970s hobbyist ceramics movement, when local studios thrived as creative sanctuaries for everyday makers.
Finished in a deep antiqued bronze glaze, the figure wears a plumed helmet and scaled armor, echoing the valor and drama of Greco-Roman legends. Subtle hand-finished irregularities give the piece its soulful character — a quiet imprint of the artist who shaped it.
