Up for sale is an exceptional, authentic piece of mid-century American art pottery: a Vintage Frankoma #63 Pillow Vase. This highly collectible rectangular piece features the classic Desert Gold (or Maple Fawn) glaze, a warm satin mustard-yellow finish that beautifully highlights the underlying clay body.

Because this piece features the distinctive sandy-tan unglazed clay base, it is verified as an early "Ada Clay" production piece made prior to 1954 at Frankoma’s Ada, Oklahoma facility.
