Charlotte 01 Red Ceramic Vase

Charlotte 01 Vase features a sculptural form with a distinctive layered base and an elongated, flared neck. Coated with a rich red glaze marked by subtle dark speckles, it evokes intense chromatic depth. This vase is an homage to Charlotte Corday. The work celebrates the disruptive act of the young provincial woman, guillotined for the assassination of Jean-Paul Mara, an extreme gesture that profoundly marked the French Revolution. The red color serves as the emotional core, evoking both the intensity of passion and the blood that reddened the bathtub where Marat met his end. The top of the vase culminates in an elongated, flared neck, where the guillotined head is deliberately absent. This void is not an interruption, but a tribute to Charlotte’s tragic destiny. Part of the Le Cittadine della Rivoluzione collection, the piece symbolizes passion and sacrifice through its striking color and its meaningful absence at the summi, a powerful reminder of courage, conviction, and consequence.
