Origin & History

• Estimated Era: Circa 1975–1985.

• Background: This piece belongs to the "Studio Pottery Movement," which flourished in North America during the late 20th century. During this time, artists moved away from smooth, factory-made ceramics and returned to the "hand of the potter" look. 

• The Maker: Signed "Celeste." While likely a skilled regional artist rather than a large industrial factory, the precision of the scalloped texture suggests a high level of technical training and craftsmanship.
