This unusual piece straddles the line between wearable object, satire, and social commentary. A ceramic bra mounted on elastic straps, likely created in the 1960s or 70s, a time when art and protest often intertwined. The hand-formed white porcelain cups, complete with blue-painted accents, nod to the female form in a way that’s both cheeky and pointed. Whether intended as an avant-garde statement, or part of the women’s liberation movement’s bold artistic expressions, it remains a conversation-starter that challenges the idea of utility, beauty, and constraint all at once.
