Vintage Studio Pottery Rectangular Sculptural Vase, 1973
Description:
Vintage studio pottery sculptural vase featuring a modernist rectangular form with a distinctive curved cutout along one side. The vase is finished in a combination of deep blue, teal, olive green, and earthy brown glazes, contrasted with exposed natural tan stoneware.
The asymmetrical design features clean geometric lines, softly rounded edges, and an open crescent-shaped cutout. The upper surface includes two circular openings of different sizes, one with a raised neck. The combination of glossy glazing and matte, unglazed ceramic creates visual and textural contrast.
A striking decorative piece that complements mid-century modern, brutalist, contemporary, and eclectic interiors. Ideal for display on a bookshelf, console table, or mantel, either independently as a sculptural object or as part of a curated pottery collection.

Good vintage condition, consistent with age and use. Minor surface wear, glaze variations, and marks on the unglazed ceramic are visible.
