Exceptional signed and dated 1981 studio pottery vessel featuring a bold, handbuilt sculptural form with applied loop handles and an openwork loop base. The ribbed cylindrical body is finished in a rich, high-gloss glaze with a warm brown ground layered with vivid green speckling, creating depth and movement across the surface.
The piece embodies the expressive, organic aesthetic of late 20th-century studio ceramics, with visible handwork and intentional irregularity throughout. The looping handles and pierced base give it a dynamic, almost architectural presence—equally suited as a decorative object or sculptural centerpiece.
Due to the open loop construction of the base, this piece is not watertight and is not intended to hold water. Best suited for dried arrangements or as a purely decorative sculptural object.
Signed and dated “’81” on the underside. A one-of-a-kind work that bridges Brutalist and organic modern design.

No cracks, chips, or repairs. Glaze presents beautifully with strong color and gloss overall. There are a few small areas of lighter glaze coverage where the underlying clay body subtly shows through—typical of hand-applied studio pottery glazes and not distracting. Minor irregularities consistent with handbuilt construction. less
