A striking hand-thrown studio pottery vase signed “Yano” on the base — attributed to Kiyo Yano, a California ceramic artist active during the 1970s–1980s.

This sculptural vessel features a bold textured surface reminiscent of bamboo or architectural brickwork, finished in a deep brown and olive glaze with subtle tonal variation and rich gloss. The craftsmanship and layered glaze highlight the artistry of California’s mid-century modern ceramic movement, where natural forms met modern design sensibility.
