Description from the seller
Large Unique Woodfired Stoneware Jar – Mid-Century Style
Description:
An impressive and unique woodfired stoneware jar with a lid. This piece is a masterclass in organic textures and traditional firing techniques. Standing at 33 cm, it is a rare, large-scale work for any ceramic collector.
Style & Aesthetic:
The jar features a rich, varied ash glaze and a rugged surface, characteristic of the Scandinavian studio ceramic tradition. While unsigned, the craftsmanship and "Woodfired" technique strongly echo the work of masters like Gutte Eriksen, Christian Poulsen, or even Japanese Mingei-inspired potters such as Shoji Hamada. It is a powerful piece that celebrates the "beauty of imperfection." Almost Brutalistic.
Details:
• Period: 1960s–1970s.
• Style: Mid-Century Modern / Studio Ceramics.
• Dimensions: Height: 33 cm | Diameter: 20 cm.
• Technique: Woodfired stoneware with natural ash glaze.
Condition:
The stoneware itself is in absolutely excellent condition with no chips or cracks.
Note on the base: The jar stands on four integrated "feet." One foot is slightly more worn than the others, causing a very slight tilt (barely noticeable). This can easily be leveled with a small felt or silicone pad if desired, though it does not detract from its aesthetic presence.
