Mid-Century Modern Pair of Ceramic Birds with Beautiful Glaze Signed KW 9723

About the Item

Very tasty duo of mid-century modern birds in a stylized shape and wonderful glaze pattern. The downward looking animal has a cheerful flower pattern on both wings. The upward looking bird has a herringbone pattern on its wings. The thick white lava glaze really stands out against the black ceramic. The sparsely applied red and turquoise accents are a rare exception to this. The style reminds us strongly of the artworks by Vallauris. Signed KW 9723. Measurements Bird looking up: H 15cm, L 17cm, W 9 cm. Bird looking down: H 13 cm, L 21 cm, W 9 cm.

By Laura Andreson
Located in Studio City, CA
A wonderfully crafted and beautifully glazed (in Fall greens and browns) large bowl/vase by renowned American potter Laura Andreson. Gorgeous in its Mid-Century Modern design and shifting colors.
