Up for your consideration is a fantastic piece of vintage Australian Studio Pottery by artist Mary Hick. This hand-thrown stoneware bowl features a beautiful, earth-toned salt-glaze finish with a signature "orange peel" texture and dark iron speckling. The most unique feature of this piece is the pair of sculptural, hand-modeled peanut handles applied to the rim. Mary Hick is well-known for her whimsical yet functional designs, and this "peanut" motif is a highly sought-after example of her work. • Condition: Excellent vintage condition. No chips, cracks, or repairs. Glaze is bright and intact. • Signature: Hand-signed "Mary Hick" on the base. • Dimensions - 6.5 inches across
This would make a wonderful addition to a collection of international studio ceramics or a unique conversation piece for a mid-century modern home.
