PETER VOULKOS | Vessel

Overall in very good condition. The work is Janus faced, with one side executed in a warm white slip and the reverse in a rich chocolate brown slip. Please refer to the online catalog for additional images of both sides. The seam between the central and uppermost segment as well around one "horn" has likely been professionally and sensitively restored. This is seamless and difficult to detect under ultraviolet light. Overall this is a superb example of Voulkos' early design at a critical turning point in his career.
