About the Item

Set of 3 sculptural ceramic vessels or vases features multicolored metallic Raku finish and craquelure glazes with predominant grey, brown, and off-white tones. Complex, graphic glaze complements minimal shape of the vessels, guiding the eye along the lines of pieces. Subtle variations in glaze colors add visual interest and variety to the grouping, with smallest vase featuring light pink glaze elements, and medium-sized vessel - the teal color accents. The vases stand 2.5", 3.12", and 4.5" tall; the dimensions are for the largest vessel. Raku pottery gets its characteristic metallic iridescent colorations when the pieces are being fired in a high heat kiln at around 2000°F and placed in a pit with organic materials, such as leaves, wood shavings, or mesquite, immediately afterwards, then removed to water submersion at still 1000 degrees. Each and every raku piece is different than the next due to this natural process.

Lee Levy Multi Spouted Vase, American Studio Pottery
Located in Clifton Springs, NY
Vintage ceramic bud vase features sculptural multi spouted shape and stunning textured drip glaze in earthy, organic brown palette. The gradation glaze color and abstract graphic pattern of the main decor emphasize the soft, rounded shape of the vase; the use of shades of brown, from dark espresso to mocha to off-shite cappuccino, creates rich and varied, but monochromatic palette that does not overpower the complex form and shape of the vase. The vase is signed on the bottom with LEE, that was Lee Levy customary signature; it is not dated, but the style of the piece is consistent with her Mid-Century Modern pieces created in 1960s-1970s. Leah "Lee" Levy (1922 - 2011) was an established pottery artist based in Upstate New York area. She was born in Pinsk, formerly in Poland, now in Belarus, and moved to the United States in 1929, growing up in Brookline, Massachusetts. She and her husband Irving started their first pottery studio in Long Island, New York, in late 1940s, while training at the Alfred University School of Ceramics alongside with some of the foremost artists and craftsman in America. Since 1946, Alfred University in Alfred, New York was a home for School for American Craftsmen, with the faculty that included Edwin Blanchard Brown, Ernest Frank Brace, Laurits Eichner, Philip Morton, Charles Reese, Ethel Mitchell, Robert Savage, Thomas Mclure, and most importantly for Levy, the renowned ceramists Linn Phelan and Herbert Sanders...
