This is a stunning large handmade studio art pottery vase with an extraordinary sea urchin or gourd-inspired sculptural form. The piece features an intricate pierced body with hundreds of round openings, each containing a raised ceramic orb or ball — a remarkably labor-intensive hand-built technique. The ribbed, lobed body transitions to a gracefully curved elongated neck with a small opening at the top, reminiscent of a bird's head or a gourd neck. The glazing is multi-layered and complex: the body displays earthy brown and tan tones with teal and dark green accents pooling in the recesses, while the neck and upper collar feature a vivid celadon green glaze with hand-painted blue dot details and leaf motifs. The contrast between the organic textured body and the decorative painted collar is exceptional. This piece is clearly the work of a skilled studio potter — the level of detail, the hand-piercing, the embedded orbs, and the decorative painted collar all point to significant artistic investment. No visible maker's mark or signature was observed in the photos. Condition: Excellent — no chips, cracks, or repairs visible. Appears to be in near-perfect condition. Approximate dimensions: approximately 14-16 inches tall and 12-14 inches wide at the widest point (estimate based on proportions). What's included: The vase/sculpture as shown. This would make a dramatic statement piece in any home, studio, or gallery setting. Ships carefully packed and insured. Condition: Used.
