Offered here is an exceptional, graduated set of three Southwestern-inspired studio pottery lidded vessels, sourced directly from the private estate of Alta Tingle, the legendary founder of The Gardener (Berkeley/Healdsburg, CA). Known for her pioneer vision in Modern Organic and California craft design, Tingle’s personal collection represents the absolute peak of texture-forward, curatorial ceramic art. This trio perfectly encapsulates that aesthetic, serving as an exceptional statement piece for any Wabi-Sabi, Mid-Century Modern, or Brutalist interior. Each wheel-thrown vessel features a masterfully executed, layered desert landscape pattern achieved through contrasting slips and raw, unglazed stoneware. The coarse, sand-like texture of the lower base beautifully contrasts with the smooth, custom-fitted metallic lids that crown each piece. The jars are physically cohesive and scale beautifully as a graduated triptych. The base of the vessel bears a crisp, incised geometric artist monogram signifying its origin from a highly skilled master craftsman of the American studio pottery movement. The set is in great vintage condition. Finding a complete, structurally matched trio of this scale and caliber is incredibly rare. 11in diameter, 8in tall. 10in diameter, 7.5in tall. 9in diameter, 7in tall.
