Vase c. 1990

"Vase" is a stoneware vessel created by Robert Barnard, a celebrated American ceramicist, around 1990. The piece showcases Barnard's mastery of form and glaze, with its simple yet elegant shape and rich, earthy tones. The subtle variations in the glaze, ranging from deep brown to green, evoke a sense of organic texture and the natural beauty of the materials used. This work is a testament to Barnard's commitment to traditional techniques and his artistic exploration of the expressive possibilities of ceramics. The "Vase" is currently part of the permanent collection at the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
