Couldn't load pickup availability
This substantial, hand-thrown stoneware vase by artist V. Keaveny is a quintessential example of late Mid-Century studio ceramics. The piece features a heavy, cylindrical form with pronounced throwing ribs that provide a tactile, Brutalist quality. The glaze is a sophisticated "crackle" white base, serving as a canvas for a dramatic, expressionistic application of cobalt blue.
The fluid, "active" drip at the shoulder and the soft, atmospheric blushes of oxide—ranging from earthy rose to pale moss—suggest a deep understanding of kiln-fire chemistry. This is a heavy, grounded vessel that balances the raw texture of the clay with the high-contrast elegance of deep cobalt, making it a perfect sculptural anchor for a teak sideboard or minimalist interior.
