Harrison Mcintosh Signed Early Mid-Century Modern California Studio Pottery Vase

About the Item

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' works or make for an eye-catching stand-alone accent piece in about any setting.
