Vintage (1960s) Brutalist // Wabi-Sabi Botanical Studio Pottery - Unsigned.
Vintage mid-century modern “rock pocket” orchid planter. Sculptural Succulent Vessel. Rough Texture to replicate nature : epiphytic plants like orchids, air plants, and succulents grow naturally on the rough bark of trees or nestled in mossy rock crevices. Style represents Brutalist or Wabi-Sabi studio pottery from the 1960s and 1970s. Ceramicists during this ear purposefully used heavy iron oxide washes, manganese, and cratering glazes to make their pottery look like ancient, weathered stone, lava rocks, or organic seed pods.
Good Vintage Condition. No Cracks. Age appropriate Wear. Rugged, dimpled, and unglazed interior cavity mimics a natural stone pocket. Highly porous, volcanic crawl glaze and open-form structure allow optimal air circulation around the root system, preventing root rot. Unique piece of vintage botanical art pottery. Highly collectible find for plant enthusiasts looking to showcase an exotic plant in a sculptural, mid-century vessel.
Approximate Measurements : 5.5” x 7.5” x 3" at tallest point.
Price Includes Shipping.
