ABOUT THIS AUCTION: FOR SALE is a massive and superb modernist sculpted studio pottery vase, circa 1970's or 1980's, with a semi abstract design which includes a dove, flowers, a woman's torso, and various abstract forms.

CONDITION: In excellent condition, as shown. A firing crack (not any type of damage) across the underside of the vase. Not visible when the vase is standing.

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: This vase has defied all our efforts to establish a maker for it. It is in the style of studio pottery that was popular in the 1970's and 1980's. It's form is massive, and it appears to be sculpted rather than thrown. It is hand made, not molded, and has an interesting thick Oriental type glaze. It is very heavy, perhaps 15-20 lbs. Any HELP WITH IDENTIFICATION OF THIS ARTIST WOULD BE APPRECIATED.
