This is an Abstract styled pottery vase created by Roger Neufeld.
The piece is a striking ceramic vase with a round, bulbous shape. The surface of the vase exhibits a fascinating interplay of textures, transitioning from a smooth, creamy beige at the base to a darker, more rugged brown near the top.
Intricate, organic forms protrude from the vase, resembling clusters of natural growth, adding a sculptural quality to the piece. These textures are richly glazed, catching the light in a way that enhances their depth and complexity. The interplay of glossy and matte finishes creates visual interest and brings out the details in the surface textures.
This piece could symbolize the relationship between nature and craftsmanship, merging the elegance of form with the rawness of natural elements. The use of earthy tones may evoke a sense of grounding, connecting viewers to the material's organic origins. The overall aesthetic feels both modern and timeless, inviting contemplation and appreciation for the artistry embedded in everyday objects.
The piece is a thrown pottery piece that Roger has gone in and modified after getting a smooth shape. He has made the textured and differently glazed section reminiscent of an octopus, with tendrils and textures one would see from this creature.
Roger created this piece in 2025.
The overall dimensions of the pottery are 13" tall with a base diameter of 10".
This piece was sold within 5 minutes of the artist bringing it in, but is a wonderful example of Rogers style and other pieces.
