This striking oblong studio pottery vase by Roger Cocke showcases bold textural artistry in a unique sculptural form. Crafted from unglazed stoneware clay, the piece features carved ridges and perforations that spiral around the body, giving it a dynamic, almost windswept appearance. The surface has a smoky whitewashed finish with accents of blue and brown, enhancing the tactile quality of the design. The mouth is organically shaped with an asymmetrical lip, and the bottom is signed by the artist. This is a one-of-a-kind collector's piece perfect for fans of mid- to late-20th-century studio pottery.
