Vandervelik Studio Art Pottery Sculptural Double-Ruffle Vessel

This striking piece of mid-to-late 20th-century studio pottery features a masterful "bowl-within-a-bowl" construction. Hand-signed by the artist Vandervelik, the vessel is a singular, integrated sculpture where two ruffled stoneware forms have been fused together during the creation process.
The aesthetic is a sophisticated blend of organic modernism and abstract expressionism. The interior is finished with a smooth cream-matte glaze, serving as a canvas for a rhythmic, "action-painted" splatter design in deep cobalt blue and slate. The undulating, paper-thin ruffles mimic natural wave patterns, making this a highly dimensional centerpiece that changes appearance from every angle.
