1972 Studio Pottery Sculptural Vessel

Hand-thrown studio pottery sculptural vessel dated 1972, featuring a pierced pedestal base and rich earth-tone ash/iron glaze. This piece reflects the organic modern aesthetic of early 1970s American studio pottery, emphasizing form, texture, and negative space.

The design is intentionally architectural and sculptural rather than functional. Natural glaze variation, speckling, and surface character are consistent with high-fire stoneware from this period.

The underside is clearly hand-marked:

BRFD

PEKOC

’72

These markings are typical of studio or workshop pottery from the era, indicating a handmade, non-production art piece.
