Waistel Cooper Vintage Collectable Quality Studio Pottery Vase

WAISTEL COOPER, VINTAGE COLLECTABLE QUALITY STUDIO POTTERY VASE. WHAT AN AMAZING PIECE OF ABSTRACT STONEWARE CERAMIC SCULPTURE BY THE MOST IMPORTANT POTTER OF HIS GENERATION. YES THE ONE AND ONLY WAISTEL COOPER, BORN IN AYR IN 1921 WAS A PAINTER TURNED POTTER, AND WON A SCHOLARSHIP AGED 17 AT HOSPITALFIELD, WHICH SPECIALISED IN CONTEMPORARY ART, DESIGN AND IDEAS. HE MET MANY YOUNG ARTISTS THERE. IN 1946 HE STUDIED CERAMICS AT REYKJAVIK AND HERE HE WAS ENCOURAGED TO TAKE UP POTTERY BY GESTUR THORGRIMSSON.

A COLLABORATION TOOK PLACE BETWEEN THEM HELPING TO CREATE HIS ABSTRACT DESIGNS. WAISTEL WAS ALSO INFLUENCED BY LUCIE RIE AND HANS COPER. SOME SAY THEY INFLUENCED EACH OTHER.

HE MOVED TO PENZANCE CORNWALL THERE AFTER, UNTIL HE PASSED AWAY IN 2003. THIS BEAUTIFUL STUNNING VASE IS AN UNUSUAL SHAPE, AND I CANT FIND ANOTHER ONE ON THE INTERNET.

BY THE LOOK OF ITS ROUGH TEXTURED DESIGN AND SHAPE I WOULD ESTIMATE IT WAS DONE IN THE 1960'S. CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG. I WOULD GUESS THERE ARE MANY EXPERTS ON HERE WHO ARE AFICIONADOS OF WAISTEL COOPER. THIS SUPERB PIECE OF BRITISH STUDIO POTTERY IS A MUST FOR ANY COLLECTOR OF THIS GENRE.

THIS VASE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, ALMOST AS PERFECT AS YOU COULD GET, CONSIDERING ITS AGE. HOPE YOU LIKE THE PHOTOS WHICH I TOOK MOSTLY OUTSIDE TO GET A CLEARER VIEW OF ITS STYLE AND CONDITION. IT IS SIGNED'WAISTEL' ON THE BACK, A LITTLE BIT INDISTINCT, BUT CLEARLY BY WAISTEL COOPER. IF YOU WOULD LIKE SOME MORE PHOTOS TAKEN I CAN GLADLY SEND SOME OUT TO YOU IF REQUIRED. ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE, PLEASE ASK?
