Title:
Huge 13" Michael Weinberg Raku Studio Pottery Seed Jar Vase Sedona AZ Signed
Description:
For sale is an exceptionally rare, exhibition-sized Postmodern Raku studio art pottery seed jar vase by the acclaimed Sedona, Arizona master ceramicist Michael Weinberg (1953β2016). While the vast majority of Weinbergβs vessels are small accent pieces, this massive, architectural flying-saucer form measures an impressive 13 inches wide by 5 inches tall, making it a spectacular statement piece for Mid-Century Modern, Southwestern, or Postmodern interiors.
The piece beautifully highlights Weinberg's signature mastery of the volatile Raku firing technique. It features a wide matte pastel-blue band contrasting against natural blush-pink and sandy tones, detailed with dramatic, chaotic gray-black smoke markings and carbon splashes trailing over the shoulders.
Dimensions:
- Width: 13 inches (13" diameter)
- Height: 5 inches (5" tall)
Condition:
Excellent vintage condition with no chips, cracks, or restorations. The dramatic dark markings, mottling, and smoky trails are entirely intentional effects from the reduction firing process. The bottom base is hand-signed/incised "Weinberg" by the artist. (Please note: any light inventory markings on the unglazed footing from acquisition are typical of vintage pottery and do not affect display).
Please see all high-resolution photos for exact details to appreciate the incredible scale and craftsmanship of this museum-quality vessel.
Shipping & Handling:
Due to the substantial size and fragile nature of this authentic studio piece, it will be meticulously packed with professional materials, heavily bubble-wrapped, and securely double-boxed. Ships promptly with full tracking and insurance.
