Wyman Rice Studio Pottery, Raku Pottery Vase, Clay Vessel Rustic Primitive, CHIP

Studio Pottery Vase by ceramics artist Wyman Rice, in a rustic / primitive style, Raku fired clay. NOTE: It does have a chip on the rim. The vase is about 8.5 inches tall. It is hand crafted, and created to look as if it has a large rift down the side (this is an intentional part of this art vessel). It has a chip on the rim that is not very noticeable, given the intentional distressed look of the piece, but I don't think the chip is part of the original design. Please review the photos carefully for condition. It is signed "Wyman Rice" on the base. Rice grew up on a farm in Adair County near Columbia Kentucky, and began to draw at a very early age. He attended the University of Louisville, and then the University of Kentucky, where his interest in ceramics was fueled by seeing sculptural contemporary clay work. After two years of studio work in clay at the University of Kentucky, Rice began his 26-year clay career. Rice produces work without a potter's wheel, constructing them one at a time using slabs or coils of clay. He fires all of his work using the Raku firing process.
