Sculptural Studio Pottery

This large signed studio pottery charger offers a strong combination of scale, texture, and restrained decoration.

The piece was hand-thrown from stoneware and measures an impressive 19.5 inches in diameter.

Its broad form gives the charger a sculptural presence on a wall, table, console, or display stand.

The front features a warm ivory glaze with subtle surface variation and fine crackling.

Natural speckling adds depth and reinforces the handmade character of the piece.

Two dark concentric lines circle the broad rim and create a simple graphic rhythm.

A central spiral motif adds a quiet focal point without overwhelming the composition.

Japanese-Inspired Modern Design

The decoration reflects the influence of Japanese ceramics and modern studio pottery traditions.

Its simplicity allows the clay, glaze, and throwing process to remain clearly visible.

The design feels balanced, organic, and intentionally understated.

These qualities make the charger especially suitable for modern, minimalist, and collected interiors.

It also works well alongside antique furniture and other handmade decorative objects.

Hand-Thrown Stoneware Construction

The reverse reveals the craftsmanship behind the piece.

Visible throwing marks emphasize the handmade construction and substantial stoneware body.

A raised foot ring supports the charger and gives the form additional definition.

The underside retains a rich brown clay surface with green ash-like glaze accents.

Irregular glaze movement around the outer areas creates additional texture and visual interest.

These variations reflect the individual nature of studio-made ceramics.

Signed by the Artist

An incised artist’s signature appears on the underside of the charger.

The signature remains unidentified, adding an element of discovery for collectors and ceramic enthusiasts.

Its confident construction suggests the work of an experienced studio potter.

A Decorative Statement Piece

At 19.5 inches in diameter, this large stoneware charger commands attention without appearing overly decorative.

Its neutral palette works easily within both traditional and contemporary rooms.

Display it as wall art or use it as a sculptural tabletop object.

This signed studio pottery charger offers scale, craftsmanship, and timeless visual simplicity.
