Large Signed Studio Pottery Vessel with Carved Face and Sculptural Lid

Large signed studio pottery vessel with a carved face on the front and a sculptural lid.
Handbuilt stoneware with a warm clay tone and a matte surface. The form has weight and a quiet presence. Slightly primitive in style, but intentional. It feels like an object with personality rather than something decorative.

Signed on the base: W. Moorfoot
Australian studio pottery, consistent with mid to late 20th century workshop practice.
