Vintage Mark Hines Signed Studio Art Pottery Raku Sphere Vase - Numbered #407
Product Details

This eye-catching, hand-thrown bulbous sphere vase features a stunning bronze-to-copper metallic glaze. The signature iridescent luster, earthy under-tones, and subtle surface crackle effects are beautifully highlighted, a direct result of the dramatic, rapid-cooling traditional Raku firing process. The unglazed, exposed white-clay base features the artist's authentic hand-painted script signature and number. It also retains protective felt surface pads to ensure safe shelf display.

(Please review photos closely, as the metallic variances and fine glaze crackle are intentional characteristics inherent to the Raku process).An exceptional addition for collectors of Mid-Century Modern, brutalist, or eclectic organic contemporary home decor!
