Modernist Monumental Zig Zag Weed Vase

About the Item

A monumental weed vase by studio potter Clyde Burt. This is 20" tall by 5.5" diameter and is from the 1960's series "Zig Zag Lines". A related (smaller) example is in the collection of the Renwick Gallery at the Smithsonian Institution. Perfect original condition. Clyde Burt's modernist wax resist pottery represents the best of mid century modernism in ceramics. The neck and rim on this vase are particularly elegantly thrown.

  • Bertil Vallien Cameo Midnight sky Vase with Ravens Crows Kosta Boda Atelier 1992
    By Bertil Vallien
    Located in Mobile, AL
    Bertil's work is often haunting, but this bottle vase is ready for display or perhaps for the most adventurous as a container for your personal witch's brew. A entire layer of end of day type scattered glass has been cameo acid cut back to reveal a frosted midnight blue glass underlayer. But, just look at these birds. Ravens, crows... certainly birds of the night. A taller neck than I have seen before and the slight slumping and bubbled inclusions reinforce the visual message that this is both art and handicraft. The fortuitous bold coloration of the birds makes the pattern boldly assert. Marked Kosta Boda Atelier 92 and B Vallien...
