Large Mid-Century Modern Brutalist Voulkos Style Pottery Vase Vessel Sculpture

About the Item

A spectacular, sumptuously glazed, masculine Mid-Century Modern Brutalist vase/sculpture. This piece is quite heavy and makes a bold statement. The dark black drip glaze with lighter-colored highlights (possibly a Japanese or Chinese tenmoku glaze) radiates in the light. The piece appears to be signed on the base by the artist but we are unable to make it out. There is a small sticker (removable) attached to the lower edge with the number "85" on it. It could relate to a year but we believe it refers to an exhibition or previous gallery number. From a very prominent Los Angeles pottery and ceramic collection that featured pieces by Peter Voulkos, Paul Soldner, Beatrice Wood, Laura Andreson, Otto and Vivika Heino, Otto and Gertrud Natzler, Robert Maxwell, Glen Lukens, David Cressey (Earthgender), etc.. . Unfortunately, we could not get any further information about the work when we acquired it some years ago. Would be a great addition to any Mid-Century Modern or California Studio Pottery collection or maker for an eye-catching stand-alone accent piece in about any setting.

Large Mid-Century Modern Stoneware Bottle Vase in the Style of Peter Voulkos

Located in Studio City, CA

A wonderful, richly multi-glazed and textured, heavy Mid-Century Modern large stoneware bottle vase. Expertly crafted. The piece is very reminiscent of some of Peter Voulkos' early hand-painted works with traditional shaped vessels, though we believe it was made by a different artist. From a Los Angeles estate that featured many well know Mid-Century and California artists' pottery pieces, artworks, and furniture. Marked "BOT 2" on the underside. Would be a great addition to any Mid-Century pottery/ceramics collection...

Edwards was a student of Peter Voulkos at Otis. He also studied under Marguerite Wildenhain and Shoji Hamada. This quite solid vase (likely 10-12 pounds) is signed by Edwards on the base.
