Glazed ceramic with an AI-generated image Stamped by the artist's estate. Manufactured by The Wallace Collection.

Unique Ceramic Thing by Grayson Perry is a glazed ceramic work from 2025, combining vivid storytelling with decorative precision. Central to the piece is a stylized female figure dressed in 18th-century attire, surrounded by a whimsical English pastoral scene populated with farm animals and traditional Tudor-style houses. The composition blends historical references with contemporary symbols, suggesting a narrative around identity, tradition, and self-awareness. The elaborate ceramic frame—part of the artwork—bears the inscription I KNOW WHO I AM, reinforcing themes of self-definition and cultural commentary. Perry’s signature blend of craft, satire, and personal mythology is unmistakable.

Grayson Perry (UK, 1960) is a celebrated contemporary artist and Turner Prize winner known for his provocative ceramics, tapestries, and multimedia works. Often exploring themes of identity, gender, and societal norms, Perry uses humor and craftsmanship to challenge perceptions. His alter ego, Claire, features prominently in his artistic narrative.

Art is not some fun add-on to life.
- Grayson Perry

Renowned for his unorthodox expression, Grayson Perry is an artist whose most notable works include printed tapestries and ceramic vases that explore both historical and contemporary themes, as well as featuring autobiographical references to his own life, and that of his transvestite alter-ego, Claire. Among Perry’s most acclaimed works is Aspects of Myself, a ceramic vessel featuring several different figures, some altogether innocent, and others - such as a bound and gagged woman - more sinister; Perry has confirmed that these figures depict various different aspects of his own personality. In creating his ceramic works, Perry refers to the ceramic traditions of folk art and Greek pottery while using the traditional coiling method to create the final shape, he then fires in a kiln several times in order to transfer the image and finish with a lustre glaze.

What is Kitsch?

Kitsch is a term used to describe cheap, commercial, sentimental, or vulgar art and objects commonly associated with popular culture. The word is borrowed from German, where it originally means trash. Since the 1920s, kitsch has been used to denote the opposite of high art, often implying that the work lacks sophistication or artistic merit.
