Story
The 1960s ushered in a period of 'Atomic' design where potters abandoned the muted tones of the past for colors that screamed with optimism and energy.
Maker / Origin

Condition & Value
The vessel appears to be in excellent vintage condition with the gold luster remaining bright and largely intact. Value is driven by the highly desirable 'Mid-Century Modern' aesthetic and the excellent preservation of the gold luster, which is prone to rubbing over time.
