Vintage Art Pottery Female Portrait Bust with Textured Finish
$45.00
Striking ceramic portrait bust of a woman with distinctive textured surface treatment. Artist-signed piece with detailed facial features, period-style hair with headband, and draped clothing, finished in an aged or antiqued matte surface.
This hand-sculpted ceramic bust depicts a woman with carefully rendered facial features and textured hair styling typical of the early 1970s. The piece shows skilled craftsmanship in its detailed modeling and surface treatment. Created using traditional ceramic techniques, the hollow-formed bust demonstrates the artist’s understanding of clay work and firing processes. Signed and dated “Nov 71, Marie Harper” on the base, this work represents mid-20th-century American studio ceramics. The naturalistic portrait style and earth-toned finish reflect the period’s artistic sensibilities, when ceramic artists were increasingly recognized for fine art rather than purely functional work.
