Signed Ken Reese Studio Pottery Vase Blue Lava Glaze 8” Hand Thrown Vessel

Beautiful signed studio pottery vase by Ken Reese, featuring a rich dark blue lava glaze with subtle iron spotting and tonal variation.  This hand-thrown vessel showcases a classic American studio pottery aesthetic, with a rounded, organic form and a high-fire glaze that transitions from deep midnight blue to softer gray-blue tones toward the base. The surface exhibits a natural crater / lava texture, giving the piece depth and visual interest in changing light.  The base is clearly hand-signed “Ken Reese”, indicating an individual studio artisan rather than mass production.
