Brutalust Studio Pottery Striped Canister with Lid, Signed, 1970s

A dramatically handsome studio pottery canister with lid, its stepped and tiered form thrown in a bold architectural profile and finished in a rich dark black-brown glaze streaked with warm mahogany red. The surface has a wonderful depth of glaze that pools and drips between bands, creating a complex and luxurious visual effect. The turned finial lid completes the form with sculptural authority. Signed by the maker. An exceptional piece of studio craft with strong presence on any shelf or surface.
