This striking pair of vintage studio pottery vases is signed Alex Xid and features expressive, hand-painted birds and butterflies rendered in rich brown, terracotta, black, and soft blue glazes. Each vase was individually painted by the artist, resulting in subtle variation while maintaining a cohesive, balanced presence when displayed together.
The tall, sculptural silhouette and painterly decoration are hallmarks of mid-century studio pottery, making these vases ideal statement pieces for a mantel, console table, or curated shelf. They embody the artistic, collectible quality sought after by studio pottery collectors rather than decorative or factory-produced ware.
Each vase retains its original $430 gallery price tag on the base, confirming these were high-end studio art pieces when originally sold. This provenance detail adds meaningful value and collector appeal.
