Harrison Mcintosh Signed Early Mid-Century Modern California Studio Pottery Vase
Located in Studio City, CA
An exquisitely designed and gorgeously glazed vase by renowned American West Coast Californian master ceramist/potter Harrison Mcintosh who was famed for his Mid-Century Modern style of ceramics. The colors are amazing with shifting highlights of purples, blues, and greys. This piece radiates in the light.
Mcintosh's works have been exhibited in such acclaimed venues as the Smithsonian in the United States and the Louvre in France. Over his more than 60-year career, Mcintosh had some 43 solo exhibitions from Los Angeles, New York, Belgium, Cannes, France to Japan. His work can be found in numerous collections and museums throughout the world including:
Renwick Gallery, Smithsonian Museum, Washington, D.C.
Musée des Arts Décoratifs, Paris, France
The National Museum of Art, Tokyo, Japan
Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, Massachusetts
Mingei International Museum, San Diego, California
Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Los Angeles, California
The Huntington Library, San Marino, California
American Museum of Ceramic Art, Pomona, California
Signed on the base with his early "McIntosh" signature (circa 1957).
A unique and somewhat rare and hard-to-find budding career vase. Would be an amazing addition to any collectors of McIntosh's or other Mid-century Modern ceramic artists...

Antique and Vintage Vases for Sale
Whether it’s a Chinese Han dynasty glazed ceramic wine vessel, a work of Murano glass or a hand-painted Scandinavian modern stoneware piece, a fine vase brings a piece of history into your space as much as it adds a sophisticated dynamic.
Like sculptures or paintings, antique and vintage vases are considered works of fine art. Once offered as tributes to ancient rulers, vases continue to be gifted to heads of state today. Over time, decorative porcelain vases have become family heirlooms to be displayed prominently in our homes — loved pieces treasured from generation to generation.
The functional value of vases is well known. They were traditionally utilized as vessels for carrying dry goods or liquids, so some have handles and feature an opening at the top (where they flare back out). While artists have explored wildly sculptural alternatives over time, the most conventional vase shape is characterized by a bulbous base and a body with shoulders where the form curves inward.
Owing to their intrinsic functionality, vases are quite possibly versatile in ways few other art forms can match. They’re typically taller than they are wide. Some have a neck that offers height and is ideal for the stems of cut flowers. To pair with your mid-century modern decor, the right vase will be an elegant receptacle for leafy snake plants on your teak dining table, or, in the case of welcoming guests on your doorstep, a large ceramic floor vase for long tree branches or sticks — perhaps one crafted in the Art Nouveau style — works wonders.
Interior designers include vases of every type, size and style in their projects — be the canvas indoors or outdoors — often introducing a splash of color and a range of textures to an entryway or merely calling attention to nature’s asymmetries by bringing more organically shaped decorative objects into a home.
On 1stDibs, you can browse our collection of vases by material, including ceramic, glass, porcelain and more. Sizes range from tiny bud vases to massive statement pieces and every size in between.
