About the Item

A striking mid-century modern studio pottery bowl featuring a wide, shallow form elevated on a cylindrical foot. The interior is finished in a smooth, high-gloss reddish-brown glaze that transitions into darker tones at the center. The exterior showcases a dramatic textured "lava" glaze in a rich mix of black, brown, and blue tones, punctuated by raised vertical ridges that add sculptural interest and depth. The reactive glaze creates a highly tactile, almost volcanic surface effect, contrasting beautifully with the refined interior. This hand-thrown vessel embodies the organic modernist aesthetic popular in 1960s and 70s studio ceramics, with a form and finish reminiscent of Scandinavian and Californian pottery from the same period. Unsigned. In excellent vintage condition with no chips or cracks. Ideal as a centerpiece, decorative bowl, or collector's display item. Vintage condition as pictured. Listing is for described items only. Dimensions approximately: 12.5"D, 5"H

Laura Andreson Signed Monumental Glazed Mid-Century Modern Ceramic Pottery Bowl
By Laura Andreson
Located in Studio City, CA
A wonderfully crafted and beautifully glazed (in Fall greens and browns) large bowl/vase by renowned American potter Laura Andreson. Gorgeous in its Mid-Century Modern design and shifting colors. Signed on the base by Andreson. A quite special and rare work. Certainly, one of the best pieces of Andreson's work we have had the pleasure to come across. Highly collectible.

Her work can be found in many collections and museums worldwide including: Metropolitan Museum of Art The Museum of Modern Art Museum of Fine Arts, Boston Smithsonian Museum of American Art The Los Angeles County Museum of Art The Walker Art Center The Nora Eccles Harrison Museum of Art.
