Bring a piece of artistic history into your home with this stunning vintage Tony Evans raku pottery vase from 1991. This vase exemplifies his signature style with its organic shape, subtle color gradients, and earthy patina-perfect for collectors of studio art pottery or modern decor enthusiasts. Handcrafted raku-fired ceramic with a unique abstract form, tapering from a wide base to a narrower neck for elegant display. Pale turquoise-blue upper section fading into beige-tan tones, with textured crackle glaze and drip effects for a volcanic, ancient artifact appearance. Signed "Evans 91" on the base, confirming authenticity and dating to 1991-part of his acclaimed "Ancient Sands" inspired series.
Approximate dimensions: 12 inches tall x 5 inches wide (based on similar pieces; please confirm with photos). One-of-a-kind studio item, showcasing Evans' blend of science and art from his time teaching at UC Berkeley and other institutions.
Condition Details This vase is in excellent vintage condition, with no chips, cracks, or repairs. The raku process naturally produces irregular surfaces and subtle variations in glaze, which are intentional and add to its charm.
Minor surface wear consistent with age, such as light patina spots, enhances the relic aesthetic without detracting from its beauty. It has been carefully stored and displays beautifully as a standalone art piece or flower holder (dry use recommended to preserve glaze).
