Kelly McCarty 2-Toned Brown Smoosh Vase

This striking studio pottery vase by artist Kelly McCarty showcases a sculptural, asymmetrical design with a folded rim and organically curved shoulders. The richly textured glaze features earthy hues of burnt umber, rust, and deep charcoal, creating a molten, flame-like effect that highlights the tactile surface. The vessel's unique oval mouth and draped lip suggest an expressive, contemporary take on traditional ceramic forms. It is signed on the bottom by the artist.

This piece is crafted from stoneware clay and wood-fired or reduction-fired for dramatic color variation and surface depth, perfect for adding a bold statement to a rustic, modernist, or Wabi-Sabi-inspired space.
