Giselle Hicks Contemporary White Ceramic Vase, 2019

Description
Contemporary American ceramic artist Giselle Hicks' glazed white stoneware vase is part of her Vessel Series. Each form is built by hand using a coil and pinch technique. They are formal explorations in shape, volume, color and composition. The mottled texture on the surface of each vessel are her fingerprints left from the pinched forming process which are then softened by the thick, opaque glaze applied to the surface. Acquired directly from the artist, this piece is signed on bottom. (Image 6 shows this vase along with Ref: LU863314878412 and Ref: LU863314878422, but this listing is for one vase only.)
