Scott Tubby 1991 Burnished Saggar Fired Vessel Vase Studio Pottery RARE Signed

  
The Scott Tubby 1991 Saggar Fired Vessel/Vase is a stunning piece of studio pottery originating from North America. This vintage item, measuring approximately 3 3/4 inches in height, and 5 3/4 in height features a contemporary style with a glossy finish.

Handmade by Scott Tubby in 1991, this orange, white, and black ceramic vase showcases an abstract design inspired by fire. The vessel is signed and dated by the artist's own hands, making it a unique and decorative addition to any art-themed collection from the late 20th century. In 1980, he was the first potter to combine the technique of burnishing with saggar firing to produce the style of work that has brought him acclaim from an appreciative public.

A review of his work in 1986 from The New Yorker put it this way, the subtle range of colors and the delicate stylized necks distinguish them from any other ceramics we've seen. Tubby has been an exhibitor in many prestigious fine art and craft fairs such as the Smithsonian Craft Show, the Coconut Grove Arts Festival in Miami, the Cherry Creek Arts Festival in Denver and the ACC Craft Fairs in Baltimore, Atlanta and San Fransisco. Feature articles about his pottery have appeared in Ceramics Monthly and Studio Potter. Two examples of his burnished work were included in the book Best of Pottery by Jonathon Fairbanks and Angela Fina published in 1996.

Today his pottery can be found in numerous public and private collections throughout the US, Finland and Japan including three pieces in the Smithsonian Museum of American Art.
