Featured Have 3 mystery pottery vases/forms, here is #1

Wondering what the shape of this would be called?

And the type of firing/glaze?

Mystery mark on the back for sleuths.

Year/era?
Thanks!

 

This is mouth-watering; powerfully evocative in design, shape an' proportion, glaze technique an' coloring.
Your other two are very nice as well...but this one is the grabber for me. Thanks!

 

i agree, love this one

i would put it in the studio pottery category as well

best to describe would be a drip glaze, but not like any drip glaze i've ever seen before

its so effective

 

studio potters (in the majority) usually use just name initials, this one looks like it could be ee

 

hey, a watermellon !! shelf space for sure !!

 

Oooo I want this one ! I was into studio pottery for a minute and something wants me to say its "BB" .

 

I imagine it's some kind of ash glaze like this one (not the same potter)

I gotta agree.
What else c'd it B?

 

could be, always tricky with studio marks as sometimes they will reverse a letter to differentiate from another potters mark with the same initials

 

I see "BB" sorta like the Bill Blass logo. And I never pay attention to studio pottery but that is lovely.

Love this. I'm seeing "ae" but could be any of the above!

 

I agree it's beautiful! There's a little place up in Northern Wisconsin we go to while on vacation called The Potter's Shed where you can paint and decorate whiteware and have it fired. They have outside pits they used for raku (my son has made several pieces and they always came out great) but they haven't been in use the last couple of years. Attached to it is a gift shop and gallery with pottery from all over the U.S. and a few other places. I fell in love with things with similar ash glaze and was planning on ordering an urn for DH's ashes. I bought myself a coffee cup as at the time I couldn't afford anything bigger. Now I can't find the card for the studio or artist but here is the cup. I love that the glaze looks like trees.

If anyone can get anything out of that signature that would be awesome!

Maybe Brian Beam, from Michigan.

 

Don't think he has quite the same sensibility.

Not like mine but scrolling through Beam's old website, they're is a vase identical to @Happy! 's in a different color.
