VTG Howard Pierce Green Vase White Bisque Giraffe Palm Tree California Pottery
Description
This is a rare and highly collectible Mid-Century Modern window vase handcrafted by the renowned California ceramicist, Howard Pierce, dating back to the 1950s.
The piece features a striking geometric vase finished in a beautiful speckled green high-gloss glaze. The center of the vase boasts a unique open-window design that showcases a beautifully detailed figurine of a white bisque giraffe and a palm tree, a signature motif of Pierce's iconic wildlife sculptures. The contrast between the glossy green exterior and the matte white bisque interior figures creates a stunning visual appeal from both sides. The bottom is clearly incised with the authentic hallmark: "Howard Pierce Claremont Calif". Perfect for any MCM or California art pottery collector.
