Monumental Surrealist Hand Coiled Ceramic Vessel
Monumental Coiled Ceramic Sculpture
Mid-Century Studio Stoneware Vessel
Object Description:
This substantial hand-built vessel showcases masterful coil construction. The exterior surface exhibits deep, rhythmic grooves that emulate organic textures—reminiscent of an abstract elephant foot or eroded geological formations. A sophisticated glaze in muted mustard-green transitions to warm browns.
Key Details:
- Medium: Stoneware with speckled glaze
- Construction: Hand-coiled
- Dimensions: 19"H × 11.75"W × 10.5"D (48 × 30 × 27 cm)
- Condition: Excellent vintage state with minor firing quirks consistent with period studio works
- Finish: Semi-gloss with organic color gradation
Artistic Significance:
Exemplifies the postwar studio pottery movement's exploration of:
• Primordial biomorphic forms
• Tactile, intentional materiality
Display Notes:
- Substantial presence for pedestal display
- Creates striking shadows under directional lighting
Provenance:
Circa 1960-1975, North American/European studio tradition
