A striking and collectible piece of mid-century Alaska Series pottery attributed to noted designer Matthew Adams, featuring a hand-painted polar bear motif against a rich cobalt blue ground with expressive gilt brushwork. The sculptural organic form, asymmetrical rim, and tripod feet beautifully capture the Scandinavian-modern aesthetic popular during the 1950s–1970s.
This vase showcases the distinctive Arctic wildlife imagery associated with Matthew Adams’ Alaska-themed ceramic works and makes a wonderful statement piece for collectors of mid-century studio pottery, Alaskan décor, or Scandinavian-inspired interiors.
The vivid cobalt glaze contrasts beautifully with the soft painterly rendering of the polar bear, giving the piece both artistic warmth and display presence.
