Large 16 Vintage Cunningham Studio Pottery Floor Vase-Hand-Signed and Numbered

Exceptional Large 16 Vintage Cunningham Studio Art Pottery Floor Vase - Hand-Signed & Numbered Up for sale is a stunning, substantial vintage stoneware art pottery floor vase from the renowned studio of Steve and Miky Cunningham (West Des Moines, Iowa). Standing an impressive 16 inches tall, this commanding, wheel-thrown piece showcases a beautiful contrast between the raw, gritty unglazed terracotta-colored clay body and expressive abstract glazing.

The front features a heavily textured white slip panel highlighted by rich, fluid sweeps of deep cobalt blue glaze. The base is hand-incised with the crisp studio signature "Cunningham" and designated with the individual studio production sequence number 1057. Girth (Circumference around widest section): 21.5 inches. Width (Diameter at widest section): Approx. Markings: Hand-signed "Cunningham" and numbered 1057 on the unglazed base. No chips, cracks, hairline fractures, or flea bites. Note a tiny natural manufacturing glaze skip/pop on the unglazed foot ring (visible in photos), which is perfectly normal and expected for hand-fired studio pottery. Design: Authentic American studio craft with clear Mid-Century Modern and Japanese Mingei folk-art influences.
