Mid 20th Century Signed Studio Pottery Stoneware Vessel

Hovde Park Home is pleased to offer you this chance to indulge in the artistry of this captivating Signed Studio Pottery Stoneware Vessel, a testament to the skilled hands of the artist. Measuring 5.5 inches in diameter and standing at a stately 10.5 inches tall, this vessel bears the distinctive signature ‘Rayquist,’ capturing the essence of its creator’s vision.

Hand-thrown on a potter’s wheel, the piece embodies elegance with its graceful contours, displaying a subtle symmetrical bow that gently encircles its midsection. The vessel’s neck modestly tapers before expanding into a beautifully formed lip, highlighting the artist’s meticulous attention to detail.

Adorning the body of the vessel are exquisite abstract designs, meticulously etched and glazed in a deeper brown hue, adding a compelling contrast to the stoneware. The neck and lip have been expertly smoothed, rendering a glossy finish that accentuates the piece’s refined craftsmanship.

Its rustic allure, coupled with the variations in color, hints at the possibility of this masterpiece being raku fired—an artisanal technique that adds depth and character to each unique creation.
