Investment-Grade 1970s Brutalist Studio Art Cabinet Vase This one-of-a-kind (OOAK) stoneware vessel is a masterclass in Mid-Century Modern studio pottery. Standing at an intimate 5.5 inches, this is a premium "Cabinet Piece"—highly detailed, sculptural, and specifically designed for a curated collection of 20th-century art. This work embodies the peak of the 1970s American Studio Craft movement. Museum-Quality Artistic Features: • Unique Pierced Base: The foot of the vase features a rare, hand-perforated decorative detail. This technical "piercing" is a difficult signature of skilled studio artisans, elevating this piece from a vessel to a structural art object. • Asymmetrical Tri-Corner Rim: The lip was hand-pinched while the clay was wet into a dynamic, three-pointed organic form, providing a different artistic silhouette from every angle. • Vitreous High-Gloss Glaze: A stunning, deep-brown "oil spot" glaze with metallic iron-oxide speckling. The high-shine finish creates a sophisticated contrast against the rugged, heavy stoneware body. • Hand-Thrown Authenticity: The underside reveals prominent throwing rings and a coarse "salt-and-pepper" stoneware body. The weight and intricate detail suggest the hand of a master-level studio artist. Specifications: • Era: Circa 1970s (Mid-Century Modern / Brutalist) • Dimensions: Approximately 5.5" Height x 4" Width • Material: High-fired heavy stoneware • Condition: Excellent vintage condition.
