Marbled Vase with Turquoise Rim (3) chicago pottery Signed and dated on bottomMade from a composite marbled clay it features a pure white porcelain, a contrasting rich Brooklyn red clay. The outside is left unglazed, show casing the poetic landscape of rivulets ebbing and flowing which emerges from the throwing process.

Lovely displayed on its own
