Offered for your review and consideration is this Fantoni-esque, most likely American, mid-20th century, hand-built, slab-constructed, stoneware ceramic vase, with a delicately fluted top. It has a matte finish featuring putty white, sepia brown and burnt sienna glazes, decorating three-dimensional, bas-relief, abstract, raised graphic iconography, with a setting or rising sun, hovering over three bands of cresting waves. The putty white base glaze features areas of burnt sienna oxidation. The vessel is without hairline cracks, flea-bites, noticeable or depreciating abrasions or scuffs. The interior glaze is more glossy and reflective, featuring teal blue-green mottled glaze, informed with episodes of burnt sienna, giving it the appearance, as seen with the putty white sidewalls, of being naturally’oxidized. The vessel is hand-built and slab-constructed. It’s signed on the base plate in cursive writing with the signature’Alka. It’s unclear if there’s an additional letter’C’ to its right. Amazing Modernist form & surfaces. A simply gorgeous Modernist ceramic vessel in very well-preserved condition. Very Good to Excellent overall vintage condition.
