Signed Studio Pottery Vase by Busby

This bold, sculptural studio pottery vase features a tiered gourd-like silhouette with rich, metallic-toned glazing in shades of deep brown, black, and iridescent copper. The ribbed banding and hand-thrown ridges lend a tactile dimension to the form, while the narrow neck and gently flared mouth create a striking profile. The piece is finished in a high-gloss glaze that subtly reflects light, adding visual depth and sophistication.

The base is hand-signed “Busby”, indicating an individual studio potter, likely North American. The foot is unglazed, exposing the iron-speckled stoneware clay body. Estimated to date from the 1980s to early 2000s, this vase showcases the hallmarks of small-batch studio ceramic art from that period.

It is in excellent vintage condition, with no chips, cracks, or repairs. Ideal for displaying as a sculptural object or for holding small stems.
