Glossy Black Ceramic Head Sculpture by TEKT

A quietly haunting piece with a striking presence. This ceramic sculpture by USSR-based manufacturer TEKT depicts a stylized head with a contemplative expression, finished in a glossy black glaze. Handcrafted and full of subtle irregularities, the surface reveals soft shade shifts and textural nuance depending on the light.
A rare find from a little-known maker, this is more than just décor — it’s a portal to another era of Eastern European artistry. Beautifully heavy, unchipped, and with all the organic glaze variation and base roughness that makes vintage ceramics so compelling.

ABOUT TEKT - TEKT was a Soviet-era ceramics manufacturer known for sculptural pieces with expressive forms and tactile glazes. Operating in the mid-to-late 20th century, TEKT’s work reflects a distinct artistic current in Eastern European design history. Due to limited documentation and small production runs, TEKT sculptures are increasingly sought-after by collectors looking for something truly off the radar.
