John Moakley Mottled Purple Sculptural Bud Vase wood and bronze 9 1/4" tall x 9"This lovely sculptural small vase is by the late master pottery John C. Moakley (1931 2002) of Middleboro, Massachusetts. Widely exhibited and collected, and especially known for his vases, Moakley's work is included in museum collections including that of American Museum of Ceramic Art (AMOCA).
