About the Item

20th Century Sculptural Raku Pottery Vessel with handle by Kelly Fuenning Primitive raku vessel by Kelly Fuenning, an American studio ceramic artist known for her expressive, sculptural approach to raku-fired pottery. Hand-thrown with a richly textured reddish-brown surface and molten, organic handle, this striking piece merges primitive craftsmanship with modern abstraction — both vessel and sculpture in one. The body reveals deep earthy tones with natural pitting and ash deposits from the firing process, contrasted by a lighter raku-glazed base incised with bold linear carvings. The surface bears the hallmarks of the raku technique — crackle, texture, and variation that lend the piece its raw, ancient energy. Fuenning’s signature is incised to the underside. A powerful example of contemporary American studio pottery, this piece balances ancient earthiness with modern design sensibility, making it a compelling addition to any art or ceramic collection. Dimensions: 11″ D × 11″ W × 13″ H Origin: United States Medium: Raku-fired stoneware Condition: Good overall with intentional irregularities and surface crackle inherent to the artist’s process.
