Mid-Century Modern Signed Studio Pottery Vessel | Chartreuse Volcanic Glaze

$100.00

Bring a sharp, sculptural pop of color into your space with this exceptional mid-century modern studio pottery vessel. Standing at a compact 6 inches, this piece proves that true design authority doesn't require massive scale. It features a brilliant, heavily cratered volcanic glaze in a glossy chartreuse-yellow that demands attention from across the room.

The true magic of this piece lies in its striking contrast: the vibrant, textured orb body is abruptly crowned by a raw, unglazed, near-black brutalist neck. Hand-thrown using a coarse, heavily grogged dark clay, the vessel carries an incredibly tactile, organic weight. The underside features a hand-incised artisan signature and studio markings, making it a unique, authentic piece of late 20th-century ceramic art.

Perfect for a mid-century sideboard, a minimalist mantle, or nestled into a curated bookcase to add an unapologetic layer of texture and color.

Specifications

  • Dimensions: 6" H x 6" W (approximate diameter)

  • Material: Coarse, grogged dark stoneware / clay body

  • Glaze: Glossy volcanic / crater glaze in chartreuse-yellow

  • Condition: Excellent vintage condition. No chips, cracks, or structural damage. The heavily pitted and blistered surface texture is entirely intentional and inherent to the experimental firing process.

  • Markings: Hand-incised artisan monogram and studio numbers on the base

Styling Tip

Let this piece breathe. Position it against dark wood tones (like teak or walnut) or a raw concrete surface to let the stark contrast between the brutalist dark collar and the electric yellow body truly sing.
