Ceramic Containers Alexander Girard, 1952 Style:Container No.1 Ice Grey in contemporary times or inAlexander Girard's work brought a sensuous playfulness to twentieth century design that had been absent from the austere aesthetic of classic modernism. This also finds expression in the Ceramic Containers. The three original models were made of wood, hand turned by Girard on a lathe in his workshop. Their silhouettes are reminiscent of the traditional shapes of apothecary vessels, board game tokens or millinery blocks.
