A wonderful piece of studio pottery made and signed by Roger Corsaw. Measures 5.75" wide and 2.75" tall. It features a upper lip of forest green and open work cut-out or window-type squares featuring the same color green with the occasional light purple lilac colored square. A perfect retro mid-century piece. One of a kind! Rare item.
Although Corsaw was a gifted and prolific potter, examples of his early Oklahoma work rarely surface. The Roger D. Corsaw Collection is on display in multiple museums.
