About the Item

An exceptional “Phoenix” model planter designed by David Cressey for the Architectural Pottery Pro/Artisan collection, circa 1960s. Executed in white glazed stoneware, the vessel features a distinctive geometric relief pattern with sharply faceted pyramidal elements rising from the surface. The hand-thrown form showcases Cressey’s hallmark attention to material and texture, balancing modernist clarity with organic tactility. This particular example retains its original white glaze, highlighting the deep texture and crisp contours of the design.
