Laura Andreson Signed Glazed Mid-Century Modern California Studio Pottery Bowl
By Laura Andreson
Located in Studio City, CA

An uncommon form for Andreson with a high gloss glaze featuring a dark ocean deep blue / aqua color with delicate splashes of greens. Gorgeous in its Mid-Century Modern design.
