Brutalist Ossenbach Italian Studio Pottery Vase, Mid-Century Volcanic Glaze

ITEM SPECIFICS: 1960s, Earthenware, White, Green, Brutalist, Italian Modern, Wabi-Sabi, Studio Pottery

A powerful example of Italian Brutalism by renowned ceramicist Guido Ossenbach. This mid-century studio vase features a flattened, organic form covered in a thick, sandy white glaze, dramatically contrasted by a molten, volcanic crater at its aperture. A statement piece for any collector of European art pottery, its raw, elemental form is both ancient and strikingly modern.
