Hand-Thrown Studio Pottery Jar with Blue & Green Glaze Circle

This unique, handcrafted stoneware jar is a beautiful example of American studio pottery from the early 1980s. Meticulously hand-thrown, it features a classic, ovoid shape with a perfectly fitted lid and a sophisticated finial knob.

The standout feature of this vessel is the captivating glaze pattern on the front. A concentric, circular design draws the eye, featuring a deep indigo blue outer ring surrounding a mottled moss green and earthy brown center. The background is a finely textured, natural oatmeal beige glaze, providing a perfect, tactile contrast.

This piece is not just a decorative object; it’s a tangible piece of history. The bottom is proudly and clearly hand-incised with the artist's signature, "Staley," and the date "'81," authenticating its origin and vintage status.
