Purchased at an estate sale in Ohio, a pottery identification group advised it was A Bob & Connie Anderson piece from Iowa because of the marks and it was an early piece. This vintage art pottery vase from the Anderson Sunflower Studio is a stunning example of Arts & Crafts/Mission style. The vase stands at 22 inches tall and 4 inches wide, featuring a wrap-around landscape design that highlights the beauty of the prairie. The vase was hand-molded, etched, and hand-painted, giving it a 3D effect that creates a unique decorative piece.
This original piece of art pottery was produced in the late 20th century (1970-1999) and bears the stamp "A" for Anderson and flower stamp for Sunflower Studio. The vase is made of clay, stoneware, and ceramic materials, finished in a matte texture. The backstamp is impressed, and the vase weighs approximately 18 pounds. This vintage vase is perfect for art collectors and those who appreciate the beauty of handcrafted pottery.
