Signed 'Banker' or 'Barker', dated 1986. (United States)
The late 20th century saw a flourishing of studio pottery, particularly in the United States, where individual artists and small workshops produced unique ceramic pieces. These artists often experimented with glazes, forms, and decorative techniques, drawing inspiration from both historical traditions and contemporary art movements. The year 1986 falls within this vibrant period, characterized by a focus on craftsmanship and artistic expression.
Potters from this era often signed or marked their work with their name or studio name, along with the year of creation, to authenticate their pieces. These marks are invaluable for collectors and historians, providing direct links to the artist and the specific time of production. The presence of such a mark on this vase suggests it is a deliberate artistic creation rather than a mass-produced item.
