Tall Green Drippy Terracotta Studio Vase, Signed, United States, 1970s

A slender, elegant studio pottery bud vase with a long tapered neck and a rounded base in warm, unglazed terracotta clay. A rich olive-green glaze drips and pools naturally down the neck, leaving the lower body bare and raw, which creates a beautiful contrast between the glazed and unglazed surfaces. The asymmetric glaze pooling and textured surface give this piece a rugged, organic quality characteristic of the finest American studio ceramics. Signed on the base.
