Rare 1964 Bennington Potters Satyr Vase | David Gill & Leonard Baskin Collab

PLEASE READ ENTIRE DESCRIPTION BEFORE ORDERING A highly collectible piece of Mid-Century American studio pottery. This iconic "Satyr Vase" was a rare collaboration between master potter David Gill and famed sculptor Leonard Baskin for Bennington Potters. This is a beautiful example of Vermont stoneware, featuring a striking, hand-pressed relief of a Satyr (or Faun) face. The vessel has a robust, ribbed exterior characteristic of Gill's wheel-thrown work, with a light-colored glazed interior. Artists: David Gill (Potter) & Leonard Baskin (Sculptor/Design) Studio: Bennington Potters, Bennington, Vermont Year: 1964 Medium: Stoneware with glazed interior Markings: Hand-signed on the bottom "Bennington Potters" and numbered "6/50" (No. 6 of a very limited edition of 50 pieces). Dimensions: 8.25" tall, 5-7/8" at opening, 5-3/4" at base, approx. 7" at widest point Condition: PLEASE READ CAREFULLY Hairline Crack: There is a faint hairline crack visible on the exterior and interior, starting at the rim and going about 75% of the way down. It does not appear to compromise the structural integrity for display use. The piece still displays beautifully. The hairline crack is on the side but toward the back and is very faint. The rarity and provenance of this vase still make it a significant find for collectors. The item is priced to reflect the condition issue. pottery, ceramics, mythology, greek, artisan, handmade, collectible, limited edition, sculptural, unique, vintage decor
