This handmade studio pottery cup and saucer showcase the signature characteristics of the American craft movement: functional forms, organic glazing, and tactile charm. The spiraling carved pattern and painterly blue over tan glaze suggest it was thrown and finished by hand in a small-scale studio setting.
Such pieces reflect the ethos of mid-to-late 20th-century studio pottery, where emphasis was placed on craft, form, and experimentation over uniformity. Its individuality makes it an appealing collectible for those curating artistic, everyday objects.
