The organic biomorphic form, sculptural rim, and volcanic crystalline glaze movement make this an exceptional example of Wright’s mid-century ceramic work.

The interior glaze pools and radiates with dimensional color variation - teal blues blending into chocolate browns and black mineral halos. Heavy, substantial, and highly tactile, this piece serves beautifully as both a functional ashtray and a sculptural decorative object.

Signed “Don Wright” on the underside in hand-incised script.

A standout accent for mid-century, retro, eclectic, or studio pottery-focused interiors. See less
