This hand-built ceramic vase is a stunning example of mid-to-late 20th century studio pottery by Alaskan artist Polly Lee. With its soft sculptural form, warm ochre glaze, and minimal abstract detailing, the piece radiates the wabi-sabi beauty Lee was known for throughout her decades-long career. Signed on the base, the vase reflects Lee’s deep connection to nature and her commitment to expressive, functional art. A rare and soulful addition for collectors of American studio ceramics
About the Artist:
Polly Lee (b. 1929) was a celebrated artist and arts advocate based in Petersburg, Alaska. Her work spans over 50 years, ranging from pottery and public art to architectural tile. Often working with local clays, she created tactile, one-of-a-kind pieces that embrace natural forms and textures. Lee's work is featured in museums, civic buildings, and private collections across America.
Polly Lee’s work is scarce on the secondary market but has strong regional interest and appeal to collectors of West Coast and Mid Century pottery. The organic form and signed provenance make this a standout piece.
