Description

12" Signed Studio Pottery Vase with Brush Decoration

A substantial signed studio pottery vase, wheel-thrown in stoneware with a rich brown glaze and bold cobalt-black brushwork. The form features a gently flared rim, rounded shoulders, and a slightly waisted base, creating an elegant yet grounded profile. Expressive abstract floral and calligraphic motifs wrap the body, rendered in free-flowing strokes that highlight the potter’s confident hand.

The underside carries a distinctive circular maker’s mark with a central stroke, confirming it as the work of a studio potter. While not yet attributed, the mark suggests an individual artisan rather than mass production, consistent with mid-to-late 20th century studio pottery traditions. Weighing over five pounds, this piece has a commanding presence and would serve beautifully as a decorative focal point or a collector’s addition.

Condition:
Good condition with no damage. The glaze is intact and vibrant, showing only natural variations and firing effects inherent to handmade pottery.

Dimensions:
Height: 12 inches
Diameter: 8 inches
Weight: 5 lbs 7.6 oz
