vintage Frank Polizzi studio pottery basket vase

This 1970s studio pottery basket vase by Wisconsin potter Frank Polizzi has a tall arched handle accented with small applied floral details. An earthy olive glaze moves across the wheel-thrown surface with dark linear markings and subtle rust tones. The ribbed handle and sculpted flowers bring dimension to the distinctive basket form, while the substantial scale gives the piece a strong sculptural presence. A beautiful example of vintage American studio pottery with an expressive balance of form, glaze, and hand-worked detail.

CONDITION

In good condition with wear consistent with age and use. There is natural variation throughout the handmade form and glaze.
