Very Early and Rare Israel Lapid Vase as shown by its Pottery Mark. Most likely made between 1959 (first year of decorative pottery production for Lapid) and 1960. This is prior to Lapid's artist-signed production.
This large 11 inches tall Vase depicts 9 Gazelles prancing. This distinctive Deer/Gazelle pattern is known as "Ayelet", which means "Doe of the Dawn" or "Gazelle". "Ayelet" is also referred to as "Eilot".
The unique pottery method called "Sgraffito" is used. It's a pottery technique whereby the artist scratches away the matte finish color layer to reveal a different finish/color underneath, thus purposely creating a primitive esthetic to the Vase. The brown matte finish is prone to revealing slight imperfections; however, this corresponds to the desired rustic result the artist looks to achieve. The inside of the Vase is the traditional glazed ceramic, in a very light yellow finish.
This design is MCM and highly collectible.
