Vintage Jon Carlos Lopez Pottery Glazed Wine Bottle Holder Lion Head 1970s
Jon Carlos Lopez is an American artist born in Michigan in 1940. Most of his work was completed in the 1970s. This is a good example of the type of pottery he created during that time. The piece is engraved on the bottom with 1974 as the date.
This glazed pottery piece is considered a wine holder with a beautifully rendered lions head on the front in cobalt blue and white. The lion is in a laying position with it eyes giving a sideways glance.
Although the piece is called a wine holder can be used in other ways or simply displayed for its unique design and the gorgeous cobalt blue used for the lion's head.
This is a very rustic piece that has imperfections all of which appear to have been done intentionally by the artist. The back of the piece where a raised script reading, "Lopez" is not clear but also not chipped, because the glaze covers the area.
The piece measures 8 inches tall with an opening of 3 1/2 inches and 5 inches in depth. It weighs 2 pounds 8 ounces.
The bottom of the piece is engraved with, a signature and "1974".
