Tony Evans Signed/Numbered Raku Flash Pottery 12X8" Mid Century Modern Brutalist

COMES WITH CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY!!! This wonderful pot from the 1960s or 1970s was made by world-renowned California master potter Tony Evans. The exterior has a rough, gritty surface as per the brutalist aesthetic found in many mid-Century pieces, while the interior has a crackled, glossy turquoise glaze that surprises the observer who cares to take a closer look. The outside is a dull greenish-brown color with bright flashes of color that are caused by plunging the red-hot pottery into a container full of combustibles with scraps of metal mixed in. As the combustibles ignite, the extreme heat causes the metals to "flash", imparting lasting colors to the pot's surface. The certificate that comes with the pot is the original. It has the item number written by hand on the certificate so that it can be matched with the corresponding numbered piece, and the pot does indeed bear the same number as well as Tony Evan's signature. This is truly a VERY RARE piece of mid-Century art. A thorough inspection indicated no chips or damage.
