A very rare find, this Raul Coronel Stoneware Designs Inc. mosaic is the largest in the series. Often referred to as the Tree of Life, or Partridges - the Stoneware Designs catalogue listed this piece as Six Nesting Birds in warm related colors. The scale is massive standing 5'H. It is very difficult to find Coronel's mosaics intact. This example is excellent, with no missing or broken pieces, and includes the Coronel signature plaque, often missing from these pieces. It is mounted on its original burlap backing. There is crackle glass incorporated into the stoneware pieces giving the piece an ever-changing glow in various lighting conditions. The piece retains its original Stoneware Designs Inc. sticker on back. Zoom in on photos for detail.
This piece has a very interesting provenance, having been acquired from the estate of Walter Schneider - a partner in the iconic Stoneware Designs Inc., along with Raul Coronel and Brent Bennett.
Approx. Dims: 61-1/8"H x 31"W x 1-3/4"D
