Mid-Century Studio Pottery Vase by Robert Maxwell A3470

A beautifully crafted mid-century studio pottery vase by American ceramicist Robert Maxwell, dating to the 1960s. Hand-thrown on the wheel, this elegant form features a tall, tapered body with a softly flared rim and a refined, balanced silhouette characteristic of Maxwell’s modernist approach to studio ceramics.

The surface displays a striking textured glaze with earthy tones of rust, charcoal, and muted gray, creating a naturally mottled patina that enhances the handmade character of the piece. Subtle throwing lines and variations in the glaze emphasize its artisanal quality and highlight the unique results of the firing process.

Robert Maxwell was an influential figure in the American studio pottery movement, known for blending functional pottery forms with sculptural, modernist aesthetics. Each piece was individually made, making this vase a distinctive example of mid-century ceramic design.

Perfect condition, no cracks or chips anywhere on the piece.
