Vintage Eduardo Vega Pottery Mid Century Modern Ceramic Covered Jar Canister

Description

•Eduardo Vega's pottery and ceramic creations are highly sought after world-wide
•He was one of the few Latin American ceramists who studied Fine Arts in Europe in the 1960s
•His design style is mainly considered modernist and or mid-century modern
•Considered a creative genius in his home town of Cuenca, Ecuador, his studio has become a noted tourist attraction
•This lovely lidded jar is typical of his functional pieces, with its stream-lined style
•Hand painted with a floral design accented with dark lines
•The jar has a plain, antique white lower section - there is some light crazing
•Signed "Vega, Cuenca, Ecuador" on the base
•It measures 7½ inches tall to the top of the lid
•The lid's knob has an indented area and a pin hole - looks like a production defect where the glaze did not set properly
•The lid has a couple small nicks / wear on the under-side of the rim
•The base of the jar has some rubs and scuffs from normal wear
•From my personal pottery collection!
