Rude Osolnik Signed Mid-Century Modern Locust Wood Turned Vessel Bud Weed Vase

About the Item

A beautifully executed, handmade, wood-turned weed vase by master woodturner Rude Osolnik who is widely regarded, along with Bob Stocksdale, as one of the finest woodturners in American woodturning history. In 1992, he was presented by then Kentucky Governor Brereton Jones, the Milner Award, the Governor's Award for Lifetime Achievement. The vase is made from locust wood, quite rare for Osolnik, features highlighted striped areas of dark and light. It is signed "Osolnik Originals" and "Locust" by the Osolnik on the base. A gorgeous and engaging gem of a piece that clearly makes an impact. Would be a great addition to any midcentury or wood-turned collection or an eye-catching stand-alone work in about any setting, midcentury or otherwise. Osolnik's work can be found in such permanent collections as: The Renwick Gallery of the Smithsonian The Boston Museum of fine Arts Atlanta's High Museum The Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago The Yale Museum The Speed Museum The Kentucky History Museum The Mayo Clinic The Connell Gallery Dimensions: 3.5" high, 3" wide, 3" deep.
