A sculptural ceramic birdhouse by Berkeley artist Sandra Johnson, dated 1960. Featuring a rounded, organic form with a richly textured, mottled glaze in earthy gray, brown, and green tones. Subtle iridescent undertones shift with the light, revealing a depth and luminosity that is difficult to fully capture in photographs. A circular entrance and simple wooden perch complement the understated design, while leather cording allows the piece to be suspended. A distinctive example of mid-century studio pottery, equally compelling as a functional birdhouse or sculptural object.
Dimensions: 9” Diameter x 6.25” H
