Description

View Mid-Century California Originals vintage pottery #587 with current marketplace pricing, condition, product images and item details. The underside is clearly marked“Calif. 587 U.S.A.” I have identified the maker as California Originals and the number as the manufacturer's model/shape number. Model / Shape: 587. Mark: “Calif. 587 U.S.A.”. Mid-Century California Originals USA Pottery Vase – #587 – Black & Red Geometric Design  Offered is a striking vintage California Originals ceramic vessel, marked on the underside: CALIF. ORIG. 587 U.S.A. This unusual piece features a 10.5" tall x approx 6" wide, tapered architectural form with an open top and elaborate molded and incised geometric decoration. The predominantly deep charcoal-black finish contrasts dramatically with red revealed through the recessed and incised areas , creating a bold two-tone effect. The surface is richly textured, with repeated vertical fluting, arched motifs, fan-like forms, raised bands and other geometric details. The overall appearance is strongly Mid-Century Modern , with an Art Deco influence. The dramatic black-and-red finish also has a distinctive “Fat Lava”-inspired appearance , with deeply textured geometric relief and high-contrast coloration that is particularly appealing to collectors of mid-century modern and vintage art pottery. The unusual sculptural form gives this piece considerable presence as a decorative object and makes it an interesting addition to a collection of California Originals, American art pottery, Mid-Century Modern ceramics, or architectural decorative arts . DETAILS Maker: California Originals Model / Shape: 587 Origin: California, USA Mark: “Calif. Orig. 587 U.S.A.” Material: Ceramic / art pottery Color: Charcoal black with red accents Style: Mid-Century Modern / geometric / Art Deco-influenced Finish: Textured, incised and relief decoration with contrasting red and black coloration CONDITION Good vintage condition with signs of age and previous handling. There are some surface scratches, scuffs and areas of finish wear , particularly along the raised and exposed portions of the decoration and around the base. These imperfections are consistent with the age and nature of the piece and do not detract from its strong overall appearance. Please examine all photographs carefully. The photographs are considered part of the description and show the actual piece you will receive. A NOTE ABOUT THE MODEL The underside is clearly marked “Calif. Orig. 587 U.S.A.” I have identified the maker as California Originals and the number as the manufacturer's model/shape number. I have not found sufficient original manufacturer documentation to assign a specific production date or formal model name to #587, so none is being claimed here. The “Fat Lava”-inspired description refers to the visual character of the highly textured, high-contrast glaze and is not intended to claim that California Originals officially designated this particular finish as a “Fat Lava” glaze. A dramatic and unusual example of California Originals pottery with exceptional geometric texture and a very distinctive black-and-red finish. Condition: Used.
