XXL Ceramic chess set
Sculptural architecture.
Designed and handcrafted by Bulgarian ceramist Maria Kenarova in the late 1980s / early 1990s, each piece is individually signed (swipe through the photos) and stands between 40cm and 80cm high, transforming the game into a commanding visual experience.
Rich earth glazes, carved geometric detailing, and powerful silhouettes make every element a work of art in its own right. Rooted in the expressive ceramic traditions of Bulgary, this rare vintage set carries both artistic significance and collectible value.
Whether displayed in a private residence, gallery, hotel, or design space, it becomes the undeniable centerpiece of the room. Wear according age, one white tower has a damage (last 2 photos).
