About the Item

Unusual round ceramic vase is decorated with carved abstract repeating geometric design. Minimal shape and reserved, earthy dark caramel , chocolate, and mocha brown palette lets hand carved, highly detailed, richly textured pattern to take center stage. The pattern follows 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 hand signed by the artist on the bottom. Roger Calero is a renowned Nicaraguan ceramic artist who utilizes the rich heritage of South American folk pottery in his art.

Asymmetrical Carved Ceramic Vase Organic Modern, Nicaragua Art Pottery
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.

Lee 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. Leah "Lee" Levy (1922 - 2011) was an established pottery artist based in Upstate New York area. She was born in Pinsk, formerly in Poland, now in Belarus, and moved to the United States in 1929, growing up in Brookline, Massachusetts. She and her husband Irving started their first pottery studio in Long Island, New York, in late 1940s, while training at the Alfred University School of Ceramics alongside with some of the foremost artists and craftsman in America. Since 1946, Alfred University in Alfred, New York was a home for School for American Craftsmen, with the faculty that included Edwin Blanchard Brown, Ernest Frank Brace, Laurits Eichner, Philip Morton, Charles Reese, Ethel Mitchell, Robert Savage, Thomas Mclure, and most importantly for Levy, the renowned ceramists Linn Phelan and Herbert Sanders...
