Stoneware vase by Pat and Joe Rowland

This glazed stoneware vase, created around 1970 by Pat and Joe Rowland, perfectly illustrates the organic and sculptural aesthetic of the famous British ceramicist couple who settled in the south of France in the 1960s. With its free forms and remarkable glazing work, this piece reveals the artistic sensitivity of the Rowlands, blending modernism, raw materials, and Mediterranean natural inspirations. Today sought after by collectors, the works of Pat & Joe Rowland hold an important place in the revival of artistic ceramics in the 1970s.
