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

About the Item

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 or eye-catching stand-alone accent work in about any setting. Approximate dimensions: 22.25" High, 7.5" Wide, 7.5" Deep.
