Large Sculptural Owl Studio Pottery Jar, USA, 1970's

This studio pottery jar takes the whimsical form of a perched owl, its speckled cream head giving way to a richly glazed body in shifting tones of orange, green, and brown. The lidded top lifts off cleanly at the neck, keeping the piece as functional as it is characterful. A playful, handmade object with real sculptural presence.
