Peter Voulkos Studio Vase

About the Item

Peter Voulkos (1924-2002) - Black Studio pot, circa 1953-1955. Signed “Voulkos” on the base. Voulkos, an American artist of Greek descent, was known for his Abstract Expressionist ceramic sculptures and fine art studio pottery. He studied at the California College of Fine Arts and Montana University. He was awarded the Guggenheim Fellowship for Creative Arts. Long before Voulkos was known for Expressionist pottery he was classically trained and threw this perfect pot. I purchased it through one of his contemporaries, Jane Heald, and have had it in my personal collection for over twenty years.

  • Large Mid-Century Modern Stoneware Bottle Vase in the Style of Peter Voulkos
    Located in Studio City, CA
    A wonderful, richly multi-glazed and textured, heavy Mid-Century Modern large stoneware bottle vase. Expertly crafted. The piece is very reminiscent of some of Peter Voulkos' early hand-painted works with traditional shaped vessels, though we believe it was made by a different artist. From a Los Angeles estate that featured many well know Mid-Century and California artists' pottery pieces, artworks, and furniture. Marked "BOT 2" on the underside. Would be a great addition to any Mid-Century pottery/ceramics collection...
