From the living estate of Arizona based brutalist sculpture artist John Gleason, an exquisite mid-century double-handled porcelain mantle vase executed in a dramatic Rococo Revival style. This striking vessel features a vibrant, rich emerald green glazed body beautifully contrasted by heavily ornate, high-relief dimensional floral embellishments. Elaborately hand-modeled 3D pink roses, delicate buds, and twisting green vines cascade down the front and back of the vessel.
The vase boasts elegant, scroll-form double handles finished in a bright gilded accent that coordinates with the scalloped, shell-like rim and the flared base. The underside displays a raw unglazed slip ring alongside two hand-painted workman/tally marks, highly characteristic of mid-century continental European decorative pottery workshops (such as Bassano or Capodimonte-style revival pieces)
A beautiful, maximalist statement piece that perfectly suits Grandmillennial, Hollywood Regency, or traditional European-inspired interiors. Ideal for display on a fireplace mantle, entryway console, or as a central dining table vignette.

Vibrant glazes and gilding remain bright and intact. Due to the incredibly delicate nature of high-relief porcelain slipware, there may be a few tiny, minor fleabites/micro-chips to the very outer edges of a couple of flower petals, which are entirely typical of age and do not distract from the overall display, although I didn't see them when I checked the piece over. less
