1970s Comanche Pottery Sun Sculpture By Mccrea – Standing Mississippi Mud Volcanic Texture Brutalist Art
Chairish$195
Vintage standing sun sculpture by McCrea for Comanche Pottery, likely 1970s, signed on the back and crafted from their signature “Mississippi Mud” clay with a dramatic volcanic texture finish. The bold sunburst form, deeply carved rays, and rough, sculptural surface give this piece a strong Brutalist, mid‑century modern vibe that reads equally Southwestern and boho. This example is designed to stand on a flat surface, perfect for styling on a console, bookshelf, or mantel where the dimensional texture can catch the light. Comanche Pottery was a decorative art pottery brand founded by Ron Allen (born in Comanche, Texas) and produced in Texas, Mississippi, and North Carolina from the late 1970s into the 1980s; the name “Comanche” refers to the brand and is not affiliated with the Comanche Nation or Native American pottery traditions. The piece is signed “Comanche Pottery” and “McCrea” on the back, making it a great addition for collectors of studio pottery and 1970s Brutalist decor. Display it on its own as a sculptural focal point, or mix it into a grouping of terracotta, stoneware, and metal objects for a layered, artful shelf vignette.
