This excellent condition "paper bag" sculpture or vase is not only stamped with Mr. Harvey's stamp, but retains the circular sticker label to the base, indicating Canadian production.

A true piece of Pop Art, yet a functional one when filled with dried florals or branches. Its sharply modeled folds, subtle surface texture, and convincing paper-like creases highlight Harvey’s skill in transforming ordinary objects into clever visual illusions. The piece has a warm, natural tone that enhances its sculptural presence, making it a standout accent in contemporary, mid-century, or eclectic interiors. Whether displayed on a shelf, console, or tabletop, it invites a second look, offering both charm and craftsmanship. A wonderful addition to collectors of Harvey's designs. See less
