Executed in glazed earthenware and signed by the artist on the underside.  The asymmetrical vessel features a deep matte brown surface articulated by delicate incised curving lines and small exposed clay accents, creating a restrained interplay of form, line, and texture. Its sculptural silhouette and spare surface treatment reflect Weiser’s early ceramic practice, before the highly detailed china-painted imagery for which his later vessels became widely recognized. Provenance: From a private estate in West Bloomfield, Michigan; the Artist. Dimensions: 17.25”h x 13”w x 9”d. In very good condition. Full condition report available upon request. Kurt Weiser (b. 1950) is an American ceramic artist and educator recognized for technically accomplished vessels that merge ceramic form with elaborate surface imagery. He studied ceramics at the Kansas City Art Institute under Ken Ferguson and received his MFA from the University of Michigan before serving for more than a decade as director of the Archie Bray Foundation in Helena, Montana. Weiser joined Arizona State University in 1988 and became a Regents Professor, developing an internationally recognized practice that evolved from abstract surface decoration toward meticulously painted porcelain vessels incorporating botanical imagery, figures, mythology, and narrative. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e2453\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kurt Weiser","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68230116016378,"sku":"840128792513","price":3600.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0539\/1155\/2181\/files\/57_7ed5d47e-25b0-4393-9946-f4616c96c9bc.jpg?v=1794688529","url":"https:\/\/leshoppemodern.com\/products\/kurt-weiser-vessel-vase-brown-c-1980s-signed-glazed-earthenware-ceramic","provider":"Le Shoppe Modern","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
