This avant-garde studio pottery urn is a striking fusion of Brutalist form and masterful glaze application. The globular body is hand-thrown, featuring a complex array of applied ceramic loops and spikes that lend the piece a primitive, almost archaeological character. The vessel is finished in a high-contrast obsidian black glaze, further elevated by dramatic cobalt blue drips that cascade over a distinctive scalloped ridge. The raw, unglazed terracotta base provides an earthy, grounded counterpoint to the sophisticated gloss of the upper body, perfectly exemplifying the experimental spirit and tactile richness of the 1970s studio craft movement.
Measuring 8.5” in diameter and standing 9” tall, this substantial vessel serves as a commanding sculptural object for a contemporary mantel, a minimalist entryway, or an art-filled bookshelf. Its unique textural elements and moody palette make it a versatile addition to both Wabi-Sabi and Modernist interiors. The piece is in great vintage condition, displaying minor surface scuffs and production-related textural variations that serve as a beautiful patina, emphasizing its unique, hand-wrought history. This exceptional work of ceramic art is a compelling find for the serious collector. Add this one-of-a-kind vessel to your collection to bring artisanal depth to your home today.
