Hand-thrown in 1988, the piece features a clean, rounded form with a gently flared rim and a richly layered speckled blue-green glaze over warm terracotta clay.

Measuring 5.5 inches high by 6.25 inches in diameter, this planter captures the organic elegance of the California studio ceramics movement of the late 20th century. The glaze transitions from deep teal at the rim to soft gray-green speckling below, creating a subtle tonal gradient that complements living plants beautifully.

Turkel’s work is prized for its refined simplicity, durability, and harmony between form and function—qualities that make her pieces ideal for both collectors and design-minded interiors. Perfect as a sculptural vessel for orchids or succulents, or as a standalone art object.

Excellent vintage condition, with no chips, cracks, or repairs. Signed and dated “Turkel ’88” on the base. See less
