Vintage Paolo Soleri Carved Pottery Vessel with Radial Motif, Circa 1970s
Vintage Paolo Soleri Carved Pottery Vessel with Radial Motif, Circa 1970s. This early molded pottery form was produced at Soleri’s famed Arizona workshop, Arcosanti. Each face incorporates a central carved radial design reminiscent of fish. The surface is left unglazed, with natural yellow coloration largely present on one face from the firing process. Hand signed. A central hole in the base makes this piece perfect as a planter or for dried florals.
Paolo Soleri was an Italian architect. He established the educational Cosanti Foundation and Arcosanti, an "urban laboratory" (so-dubbed by Ada Louise Huxtable, who at the time was the architectural critic of The NY Times) which became internationally renowned in Arizona.
Condition: Excellent vintage condition. No flaws to note.
