Stunning Vintage 1981 California Studio Pottery Crystalline Weed Pot Up for sale is this beautiful example of late Mid-Century Modern style California studio art pottery. This hand-thrown ceramic weed pot features a striking, high-gloss mustard yellow finish, beautifully accented with delicate cobalt-blue macro-crystalline starburst patterns grown directly in the kiln. It displays a classic bulbous form that tapers sharply into a signature pin-hole spritzer neck, perfect for displaying a single dried sprig, wildflower, or weed seed pod. Key Features & Details: The Classic Weed Pot Form: Popularized by West Coast modernists like Doyle Lane, the "weed pot" is an iconic collectible form designed to highlight individual dried botanical sprigs rather than large live bouquets. The Glaze: Breathtaking macro-crystalline glaze execution. This highly technical process requires complex chemical combinations and meticulous kiln timing to develop three-dimensional crystal fan shapes. The Signature: The unglazed base features a hand-incised cursive signature that mirrors "Yemmiz" or "Yemmr" (potentially Gemma or Glenn depending on the hand-lettering interpretation) along with a clear '81 (1981) date mark. Provenance: Sourced from Central California, a region celebrated for its robust independent art guilds and university pottery movements in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Size: Measures approximately 4-3/4 inches tall. Condition: Tiny chip on the top of the lip & light overall crazing (see photos). The unglazed base rim shows standard, light shelf wear appropriate for its 40+ year age. An exceptional piece of technical California clay history to elevate any studio pottery collection!
