Description

This great vase features a very mod overlapping triangle design. Pottery Craft of Compton, California made this glossy Mid-Century Modern vase. It is often attributed to Robert Maxwell but he did not actually make this one. The glaze alternates between gloss, satin, and matte. This design came in two color schemes—dark colors and light colors. This one is the darker spectrum: sepia, gold, copper and black.

The form is bottle or gourd shaped. Wide bottom tapers to a narrow neck and simple flat mouth. Handmade in the USA in the late 1960s or early 1970s. It has a maker’s mark along the bottom edge.

Pro tip: We like to group many different Pottery Craft pieces together—they make quite a statement.
