F Stofan Arts & Crafts style Art Pottery Venetian drip glazed Forest Vase Rare

  

This stunning Arts & Crafts style piece of hand made pottery comes from Frank Stofan in Pennsylvania. The look and style is dramatically reminiscent of the Arts and Crafts era of the early 1900's. This unique one of a kind made piece was handcrafted for and marked "Pennsylvania Recorder on Deeds Department". Frank Stofan's studio opened in 1998 where he has developed a unique line of ash glazed pottery suited for everyday use and the collector's table.

The clay used is fine white stoneware and each piece is hand-thrown on the potters wheel signed glazed and fired to 2300 degrees. The wood ash glaze is formulated with ashes recycled from the wood stoves of neighbors in the community. The ashes help melt the other elements in the glaze and create the distinctive tree-like effect.

Size: 10 inches H X 6w. Blue - Green, dark brown, & beige glazed finish.
