Standing on 3 extruded octagonal curving legs or tubes, the stoneware sculpture exhibits a wonderfully fluid organic motion and personality. The exterior has a matte finish with glazed interiors of the extruded tubes — for functional floral use. It displays well on all sides with each side having a very different presentation — truly a striking piece! Impressed on the underside is an unidentified maker’s chop mark. This piece dates from the late 20th century.

Condition is near perfect with no noticeable flaws. Jagged edges, tears, and holes in the piece are intentional and were present in the firing.

Last photo shows the vase in an installation of mid- to late-20th century pottery that we styled for a show house. Other items from this installation are available for purchase and will be listed on Chairish.
