This original vintage 1970’s studio stoneware pottery sculpture was created by American artist John H. Seymour (1920–2007). Hand-sculpted in Seymour's signature modernist aesthetic, this large sitting bear features a stylized, fluid form that seamlessly balances abstract geometry with expressive wildlife representation. The piece is coated in a deeply tactile, mottled brown and speckled tan textured glaze that highlights the dynamic contours of the bear's posture. The underside features the hand-incised "SEY" hallmark alongside a copyright symbol, serving as an authentic signature of the artist's workshop output. Embodying the earthy, organic design movement characteristic of 1970’s American studio art pottery, this substantial bear statue brings a timeless sculptural presence to mid-century modern interiors, rustic cabin living spaces, or fine ceramic art collections.
