A magnificent Australian studio pottery lidded urn by respected ceramic artist Chris Sanders. This exceptional gallery-quality vessel showcases Sanders' mastery of both form and glaze, displaying a sumptuous oxblood red glaze flowing over a finely crackled cream ground to create remarkable depth, texture and visual appeal. Beautifully proportioned and elegantly restrained, the form possesses a strong sculptural presence, enhanced by its softly rounded profile and finely modelled finial lid. Signed with Sanders' impressed "CS" monogram to the base, the piece exemplifies the refined craftsmanship for which the artist is renowned. Measuring 255 mm high by 170 mm in diameter and weighing 1.870 kg, this is a superb example of Australian studio ceramics at their finest.
