Studio Pottery
Organic Form Ceramic Vase with Drip Glaze
Mid-Century Modern, Signed EL 59
This exceptional piece of studio pottery features a bold, organic form characteristic of Mid-Century Modern design. The vessel transitions from a globular base into a dramatic, asymmetrical folded rim, creating a dynamic silhouette reminiscent of natural shell or horn shapes. The exterior is finished in a rich, multi-tonal brown drip glaze that provides significant depth and texture, while the interior reveals a contrasting deep oxblood or plum-colored glaze.
• Hand-sculpted ceramic construction with unique asymmetrical folded rim design
• Reactive drip glaze in variegated earth tones with a lustrous high-gloss finish
• Signed "EL 59" incised on the base, indicating studio origin and 1959 dating
• Organic silhouette typical of mid-20th-century European and American art pottery
Condition: Very good vintage condition. The ceramic body is structurally sound with no chips, cracks, or repairs observed. The glaze remains vibrant with a high-gloss finish throughout the exterior. The base shows expected shelf wear and kiln remnants typical of hand-crafted studio pieces. Minor surface dust and organic debris present inside the vessel.
