A striking blackware ceramic Mother and Child sculpture by New Mexico artist Lawrence Vargas, signed and dated 1994. Its expressive, organic form combines a deep glossy black glaze with softly textured taupe-brown surfaces, hand-drawn botanical motifs, and inset genuine turquoise stones.
The underside is hand-inscribed “Lawrence Vargas, Albuq New Mex, © 1994” and retains its original Fall River Trading Post paper label.
Provenance: Purchased by the present owner’s parents from Fall River Trading Post in Estes Park, Colorado, and retained by the family ever since.
This distinctive example of Southwestern studio pottery has a bold sculptural presence and displays beautifully from every angle. An appealing acquisition for collectors of Lawrence Vargas, American art pottery, Southwestern design, and expressive figurative ceramics.
Dimensions: 10 inches tall, 9 inches wide, and 6 inches deep at the base.
