Stoneware Vase by John Young
$45
Starting bid
Value: $80
[pick up at VBS office]
Stoneware Vase by John Young.
This distinctive vase by Vancouver ceramic artist John Young combines bold form with refined glazing. The vessel’s rounded body rises to a striking, sculptural lip — an asymmetrical opening that gives the piece a contemporary edge while still honouring traditional wheel-thrown techniques.
Finished in deep earthy tones with subtle metallic highlights, the surface shifts beautifully with the light, enhancing its presence as both a functional vase and a stand-alone work of art.
Approximate dimensions: [4" diameter/8"height]
John Young is a Vancouver-based ceramic artist creating functional pottery that balances imagination with tradition. Working primarily in wheel-thrown and altered stoneware, his pieces explore the possibilities of clay through both soda and wood firing techniques.
With a background in industrial design, John brings a deep respect for process to his craft. His focus is on honest, balanced forms that pair everyday utility with everyday beauty, offering fresh ways to experience function and artistry in daily life.
John’s work has been exhibited at the Shadbolt Centre in Burnaby, and he has received recognition from the Fraser Valley Potters Guild Association, including an Honorable Mention in 2024 and the Award of Merit at the Guild’s 50th anniversary show in 2025.

Elegant yet sturdy, this wheel-thrown stoneware piece is ideal as a centerpiece for a dining table, a serving vessel for gatherings, or a sculptural accent in the home.
