Poured Glaze Effect Vase

A striking example of Mid-Century American studio ceramics, this hand-thrown vase originates from the influential Cranbrook Academy of Art, a cornerstone of modern design in the 1950s. Featuring a flowing green and blue glaze over a classic wheel-thrown form, the piece reflects the experimental and expressive spirit championed by Cranbrook’s renowned ceramics program under Maija Grotell.

The glaze pools beautifully in natural gradients, emphasizing the vase’s sculptural qualities and tactile surface. Both functional and artistic, this piece embodies the harmony of form, material, and glaze that defined the golden era of Cranbrook ceramics.
