Kelly McCarty Smoosh 5.5in Vase

This expressive studio pottery vase features a softly rounded form with a wide, flared rim that dips in front, accentuated by a sculpted collar detail. The surface is finished in a matte stone-gray glaze with natural speckling, iron spotting, and faint horizontal banding, giving it an earthy, rustic character. The applied organic detail and hand-thrown form suggest a deliberate embrace of wabi-sabi aesthetics, blending beauty with imperfection. The base is signed by the artist, Kelly McCarty, an American ceramicist known for functional and sculptural stoneware.

Perfect for collectors of artisan pottery, or as a statement accent in modern rustic, boho, or minimal interiors.
