Striking 18" sculptural art pottery vase with layered organic glaze in earthy greens, ambers, and deep browns. A bold, gallery-worthy statement piece with rich movement and depth. Excellent condition.
⸻
FULL DESCRIPTION
This sculptural 18-inch art pottery vase features a dramatic, vertically layered glaze in tones of moss green, oxidized copper, warm amber, and deep umber. The organic, flowing finish creates remarkable depth and movement, giving the piece a painterly, almost geological presence.
The tall, tapered silhouette with a narrow mouth makes this an ideal statement vessel for a console, pedestal, or large tabletop. The glaze transitions beautifully from darker base tones to lighter, more luminous areas near the shoulder, creating a natural gradient effect.
This piece reads as studio-inspired art pottery with a strong organic modern sensibility. It works exceptionally well in transitional, contemporary, or earthy traditional interiors.
Substantial in scale yet elegant in profile, this vase holds presence even when displayed alone.
