Brad Lee Henry Small Pottery Vase. Measures 5" in height. Excellent condition.
This exquisite Brad Lee Henry vase showcases the artist's mastery of high-fire stoneware and innovative glazing techniques. The piece features a striking contrast between a rich, metallic-tinged chocolate brown drip glaze at the rim and a rustic, unglazed matte terracotta finish near the base. Henry’s work is highly interactive, often featuring ergonomic details and hand-painted "Asian-inspired" designs like cherry blossoms or contemporary patterns that "come alive" during the gas-firing process in his Truckee studio.
Standing at 5 inches tall, this compact "ikebana-style" vase is ideally suited for minimalist floral arrangements or as a standalone sculptural accent on a mantel or bookshelf. Because each piece is hand-thrown on an electric wheel and fired in a downdraft kiln, no two vases are exactly alike, offering a one-of-a-kind tactile experience for any collector of American studio pottery.
This item is vintage, approximately 25 to 30 years old.
