A luminous example of crystalline glaze artistry, this studio pottery vase by Robert Bennett features an elegant teardrop form with a slender, elongated neck and a tiny top opening—more sculptural statement than functional vessel. The soft lavender-gray surface is adorned with large, radial zinc-silicate crystals in hues of ivory, cream, and pale celadon, creating an ethereal, organic effect that shifts beautifully in the light. Signed by the artist on the base, this piece reflects Bennett’s technical mastery of crystalline glazing—a complex and unpredictable process that allows natural crystals to form during firing. Each bloom is unique, making every piece truly one of a kind, and a standout example from the world of advanced ceramicists. It is a refined, collectible work for lovers of contemporary studio pottery and ceramic art. Excellent vintage condition with no chips, cracks, or repairs. Subtle variations in the glaze are part of the artist’s intended finish.
5" in diameter, 8" high.
