Plump, red, and just a little bit cheeky — this ceramic heart balloon sculpture is the kind of thing that stops people in their tracks. Sculpted to look exactly like a fully inflated heart-shaped balloon, complete with the little tied-off nub at the base, it sits with a satisfying weight and presence on any surface. The matte red finish gives it a softness that keeps it from feeling too literal, landing somewhere between pop art and Valentine's kitsch in the best possible way.
Works beautifully on a bookshelf, a mantle, or tucked into a vignette that needs a little pulse. It would look right at home next to something unexpected — a brass candlestick, a stack of vintage books, a quirky figurine.
No maker's mark. The surface shows some light scratching consistent with age and gentle handling, visible mainly in raking light. No chips or cracks.
