Item Description
Up for sale is a stunning, highly dimensional hand-built studio art pottery "nest" or basket bowl by acclaimed regional ceramicist Sylvia Fugmann Brongo. Beautifully preserved, this sculptural centerpiece was acquired from a prominent, eclectic estate collection in the historic Rochester suburb of Pittsford, New York.
This unique bowl is painstakingly constructed using a slab-built and overlapping coil method. The clay strands mimic a woven, organic lattice structure that terminates in a beautifully jagged, undulating natural rim. The interior and exterior are finished in a spectacular speckled periwinkle or powder-blue glaze that pools deeply into the crevices to create rich, indigo-navy shadows. The unglazed bottom showcases a beautiful, toasted-buff stoneware body.
The bottom base is clearly hand-incised with the artist's full signature: "Sylvia Fugmann Brongo". This highly textural, sculptural piece makes a dramatic statement bowl for an Organic Modern, Mid-Century, or Eclectic interior design scheme.
Condition & Care
  • Condition: Excellent vintage condition. The ceramic lattice is structurally pristine, completely free of chips, cracks, structural breaks, or repairs. The multi-tonal blue glaze remains vibrant and glossy.
Shipping & Combined Orders
  • Packaging: Due to the open-work lattice design and organic rim of this bowl, it will be packaged with extreme care. It will be wrapped completely in soft tissue, encased heavily in premium bubble wrap, and shipped in a sturdy, oversized box filled with packing peanuts to avoid any movement or pressure during transit.
