Offered here is a beautiful and early example of North Carolina studio pottery by renowned potter Ben Owen III, dated 1994.
This hand-thrown vase features a classic “melon” form, with softly lobed, symmetrical contours that echo traditional Asian-inspired ceramics—a hallmark influence in Owen’s work. The surface displays a subtle, earthy glaze blending muted greens and warm rose-pink tones, creating a soft, atmospheric finish that shifts beautifully in the light.
The underside is incised with the artist’s signature “Ben Owen III” and dated 1994, making this a documented early piece from his career—highly desirable to collectors of Seagrove pottery.
Excellent vintage condition.
