Item Description
Up for sale is a breathtaking, rare matching three-piece graduated trio of tall cylinder totem vases by celebrated American studio potter Susan Link Silverman. Beautifully preserved, this sculptural set was sourced directly from a prominent, eclectic estate collection in the historic suburb of Pittsford, New York.
Each slender vessel is meticulously wheel-thrown and altered using heavy stoneware clay. The bodies feature abstract, hand-carved sgraffito lines slicing vertically through a rich, multi-tonal moss-green and charcoal glaze. The trunks give way to a stunning, contrasting matte mauve-pink glaze along the slender, fluted necks. This organic-meets-postmodern palette perfectly captures the upscale 1980s Studio Craft Movement.
The raw, textured base of the shortest vase features her hand-incised script signature, "S. Silverman". Complete, matching graduated sets of this height are incredibly difficult to find and are highly sought after by collectors and interior designers for dramatic mantle, shelf, or tabletop vignettes.
