It measures 15 inches by 10 1/2 inches wide.
The William K2 signature is a recognized mark for vintage studio art pottery pieces crafted by the mid-century modern and contemporary artist William K. Turner. These highly collectible ceramics are celebrated for their distinctive textures and dramatic glazing techniques.
- Raku & Volcanic Glazes: The artist is best known for using Raku firing methods, which result in dynamic, iridescent surfaces. Vases frequently showcase textured, crackled, or volcanic "lava flow" finishes featuring rich metallic elements, coppers, teals, deep purples, and charcoals
- This vase is a striking mid-century modern studio art pottery raku vase featuring a sculptural teardrop form with narrow neck and subtly flared lip, finished in a richly textured, lava-like glaze with deep charcoal tones accented by organic verdigris and turquoise oxidation effects. The surface displays an intentional abstract relief pattern, giving the piece a highly tactile, almost volcanic appearance that is characteristic of studio ceramics from the 1960s?1970s era. Signed along the base William K2, a recognized mark for William K. Turner. This piece carries strong artisan presence and decorative appeal, ideal for collectors of studio pottery, brutalist decor, or modernist interiors. Measures approximately 11" W at widest point and approximately 15" H (see measurement photos). In good overall condition with minor surface wear consistent with age and artistic firing process. A bold statement piece perfect for high-end interior styling or curated ceramic collections.
