VTG Anne Muldery Studio Pottery Vase (1986) Pink Pastel Art Pottery w/ Sculptura

This dreamy 1986 Anne Muldery studio vase is pure pastel poetry — hand-thrown, soft pink, and topped with a sculptural ribbon swoosh that looks like it belongs in the world’s coolest 80s art classroom. Muldery was part of that wave of American studio potters exploring playful, applied-sculpture forms, and her pieces are actively sought after by collectors who love postmodern ceramics with personality. This one is a perfect example — the raised ribbon arcs over a textured pastel circle like a little abstract sculpture hitching a ride on the vessel. It’s subtle, clever, and instantly recognizable as the kind of work that came out of that era’s ceramic studios: expressive, handmade, and a little bit funky in the best way. Signed Anne Muldery ’86, beautifully thrown, and finished in a velvety matte glaze that feels soft even at a distance. This is the kind of piece people notice on a shelf immediately. Condition Mint condition. No chips, cracks, crazing, or anything else that would dim its charm.
