Artist: Mischa Kallis (1903–1987)
Markings: Stamped "KALLIS" on base
Height: 10 inches
Material: Studio Stoneware
Style: Mid-Century Modern / California Studio Pottery
Glaze: Natural Ash Glaze with Iron Speckling
Description:
For your consideration is a stunning, authentic studio pottery vase by the renowned artist and Hollywood art director, Mischa Kallis. Standing 10 inches tall, this hand-thrown vessel features a sophisticated, organic aesthetic characteristic of the 1950s-60s California Modernist movement.
The vase is finished in a beautiful, textured ash glaze with heavy iron speckling and warm, earth-toned "scorched" details near the base. Its silhouette—a tall, tapered body with a distinctive raised, collar-style rim—makes it a standout sculptural piece.
About the Artist:
Mischa Kallis was a prominent Art Director for Universal Studios and a celebrated painter. His private pottery studio was located in the historic Kallis House in Studio City, CA, designed by the legendary architect Rudolph Schindler. Because Kallis produced ceramics primarily for a private circle of friends and fellow artists, his pottery is rarely seen on the open market and is highly sought after by collectors of Southern California MCM design.
Condition:
Excellent vintage condition. No chips, cracks, or repairs. (Please see all high-resolution photos for detail).
