A unique piece of American studio art pottery by the notable artist Stan Langtwait (active 1950s–1980). This charming plaque, part of his "Shapes of Clay" line, features a bear in bas relief, a signature style for the artist. The piece is handcrafted using local Washington clay mixed with authentic volcanic ash from the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens, giving it a distinctive organic and textured finish.
