This remarkable hand-carved walnut vessel by artist R. Watts is a testament to mid-century studio woodworking. Signed and dated 'XII–LX' (December 1960), the piece exhibits intricate organic forms interwoven with textured carving, all seamlessly integrated into a smooth, rounded silhouette. The dark-stained walnut is richly grained and subtly polished, emphasizing the contrast between natural wood and stippled motifs.
Its sculptural form and carved detail suggest influences from Southwest Native American symbolism or Modern Primitive styles—ideal for collectors of fine wood art, mid-century craft, or rustic contemporary décor.
