Tall Abstract Studio Pottery Vase, Signed, United States, 1970s

A commanding hand-built studio pottery vase with a tall, slightly tapered cylindrical form and a boldly faceted exterior. The surface is articulated into elongated diamond and flame-shaped panels that alternate between a warm amber glaze and a deep burgundy-purple, creating a striking graphic pattern that catches light dramatically from every angle. The carved ridges and incised lines add tactile depth to an already visually powerful piece. Signed on the base, this is a confident and highly accomplished work of American studio ceramics.
