About the Item
Vintage American art studio pottery vessel or jar with wooden stopper features abstract hand-painted decor in black, brown, and muted orange palette on speckled off-white background. Lightly textured glaze emphasizes the organic, earthy aesthetics of the piece. Wooden stopper is hand-painted bright red, creating a juxtaposition to muted, almost monochromatic palette of the vessel.
The vessel is signed and dated by the artist on the bottom; it is in good vintage condition. Slight, age-appropriate paint loss on the wooden stopper due to transfer during the display and storage of the vessel with the stopped fully closed is noticeable only when the stopper is removed and displayed separately; it is shown in pictures.
Gary McCloy, an established West Coast artist, taught ceramics in Ohio for 10 years before moving to Los Angeles, where he achieved significant commercial success and started working with prolific Southern California based designer Steve Chase during the 1970s and '80s. During their collaboration period McCloy created exclusive custom ceramic pieces for Chase interior design projects that were usually marked with stamp of paper sticker "Gary McCloy for Steve Chase" in addition to artist signature.

View AllLee Levy Multi Spouted Vase, American Studio Pottery
Located in Clifton Springs, NY
Vintage ceramic bud vase features sculptural multi spouted shape and stunning textured drip glaze in earthy, organic brown palette. The gradation glaze color and abstract graphic pattern of the main decor emphasize the soft, rounded shape of the vase; the use of shades of brown, from dark espresso to mocha to off-shite cappuccino, creates rich and varied, but monochromatic palette that does not overpower the complex form and shape of the vase.
The vase is signed on the bottom with LEE, that was Lee Levy customary signature; it is not dated, but the style of the piece is consistent with her Mid-Century Modern pieces created in 1960s-1970s.

Located in Clifton Springs, NY
Unusual asymmetrical ceramic vase with partially rounded and partially dimpled body is decorated with carved abstract repeating geometric designs that help accentuate the complex, free-formed shape of the piece. Reserved, earthy dark caramel and chocolate brown palette lets hand carved, highly detailed, richly textured pattern to take center stage. The patterns follow the shape of the vase, hugging its curvature and guiding the eye along its lines; the base and the top of the vase are accentuated with solid chocolate brown glaze with incised concentric details.
The vase is unsigned; in a separate listing we are offering a vase done in similar style and technique by Roger Calero, a renowned Nicaraguan ceramic artist. This vase could be attributed to the same artist, or it could be created by another Nicaraguan art...
