Vintage'Designs West' Studio Pottery Stoneware Vase Robert Maxwell Style MCM

Vintage Handcrafted Studio Pottery Vase - Designs West (Robert Maxwell Style). This is a beautiful handcrafted stoneware vase labeled. "Handcrafted Stoneware by Designs West".

A studio pottery line often associated with California Mid-Century design. Though unsigned, the form and glaze are similar to the work of Robert Maxwell, a well-known potter of that era. The very round vase stands 9.5 inches tall with a circumference of 23.5 inches approx. It features a narrow top opening (less than 1 inch across), making it more of a sculptural object than a functional flower vase. The glaze is matte with abstract dark brown and earth-tone accents-sophisticated, organic, and warm.

This piece would make a striking decorative addition to any modern, boho, or Mid-Century inspired interior. The craftsmanship is expert-cleanly thrown, well-balanced, and beautifully glazed. This is not a rustic piece, but a carefully made object with modernist sensibilities. No chips, cracks, or repairs. Minor base wear consistent with age.

Diameter (widest point): 7.5 inches. Opening: just under 1 inch. Keywords: Studio pottery, Mid Century Modern, MCM, Robert Maxwell, California pottery, abstract glaze, Designs West, decorative vessel, modernist, organic form, handmade art pottery, sculptural ceramic vase.
