Monumental Robert Maxwell & David Cressey sunburst planter for Earthgender.
Studio executed in hand etched textured earthenware. A very clean and incredibly rare monumental example from the short-lived and increasingly coveted design collective that only existed for a few glorious years in the early 1970s in Venice, California. Drilled, structurally sound and highly presentable.
Sourced from a collector in Santa Monica who purchased directly.
Please note that this piece is from our personal collection and is currently being used by us as a planter and thus might have some additional age appropriate wear including water marks, mineral deposits and soiling. Please contact us for additional photos.
