Description
Beyer's cabinet vase features a pitted surface of gray stoneware with a subtle but fiery red hue toward the base. Resembling natural ores at a high temperature, it evokes thoughts of meteorites and other celestial objects. A champion of stoneware and modernism, Beyer has combined his two passions in this starkly simple art pottery vessel created from the material previously associated with functional crockery.
