The Van Slooten Collection — Studio Pottery Vessel No. 2

Some things are made once and never again. This intimate studio pottery vessel is a rare example of Van Slooten's handcrafted work — a beloved ceramics teacher at Orange Coast College during the 1970s whose quiet legacy lives on in every piece he made. Finished in a warm speckled glaze with the unmistakable character of a hand that knew clay deeply — this small vessel carries the kind of beauty that only comes from decades of practice and an artist who never made anything twice. Display it on a shelf. Tuck a single stem inside. Set it on a breakfast tray beside your morning coffee. Quietly luxurious in the way that only handmade things can be. Part of the Bill & Evelyn Van Slooten Collection — rare studio pottery pieces by Orange Coast College ceramics teacher Van Slooten, 1970s. Each piece one of a kind. All sales final on vintage pieces. Condition details accurately described. Complimentary shipping included.
