This vase is amongst the largest produced by the husband-and-wife team Mary and Edwin Scheier. In their collaborative work, Mary formed the vessels and Edwin decorated and glazed them. Their interest in contemporary graphic design is exemplified by the provocative figural design executed in cobalt.
