Description
Studio Pottery Masterpiece by the listed artist GEORGE ROBY.

Glaze.
Very nice find! Vintage studio pottery pedestal or sculpture. See photos.
Wonderful condition. Unusual piece. Came from a high end Mid Century Estate in North Florida and was used as a sculpture in the Mid-Century Modern garden.
Came directly from the estate to you.
Signed under the large part, or the base, "GR 17" for George Roby 1971.
Here is a biography from the web:
"George Roby is a respected Ohio potter, sculptor, and teacher. His work includes large, expressive slab and coil built sculptures that are suitable for indoor or outdoor exhibit. He also produces functional stoneware using both hands built and wheel-thrown techniques. George uses special oxides and glazing techniques that augment the characteristics of electric firing. This process results in striking surfaces and colors that coincide with his well-conceived forms. George Roby has become well known through juried exhibitions such as the Cleveland May Show, Butler Sculpture, and Ceramics exhibit, Ohio Designer Craftsmen, along with many other regional and national exhibits. His works can also be found in the collections of the Cleveland Museum of Art, The Butler Institute of American Art, the Columbus Museum of Art, and numerous private collections."
Beautifully made by hand! Simply elegant!
Measures 32" tall and 15" by 10".
Shipping will be $125 to the Continental USA.
