Barbara Paul Studio Pottery Vessel | Large 1970s Sculptural Stoneware Planter

Large-scale studio pottery vessel by Barbara Paul, created in the 1970s.

This sculptural stoneware piece features a pierced rim, layered coil-built texture, and a richly variegated iron-toned glaze with deep reddish-brown and subtle metallic shifts. The labor-intensive openwork rim and substantial form give the piece a strong architectural presence.

Barbara Paul was a studio potter whose work is no longer in production. This is a one-of-a-kind example of American studio ceramics.

Works by mid-century American studio ceramic artists are actively collected and frequently priced in the high hundreds to four figures.

Made as a statement vessel rather than decorative tableware. Intended for floor or statement placement as a planter or sculptural object.
