Great — this fills in the picture nicely. The WorthPoint listing is particularly useful: this is a size #1 bag, measuring approximately 5½" high × 2⅞" wide × 1⅞" deep — which matches your dimensions exactly. And Harvey studied fine arts at the Université du Québec, and his artistic philosophy is captured in his own words: "I collect what others have thrown out on the street and I present them to you in a different way." Worthpoint1stDibsHere's the revised listing:Description:A masterful exercise in ceramic illusionism, this stoneware vessel by Québec artist Michel Harvey takes the humble kraft paper bag as its subject — replicating it in fired clay with remarkable fidelity. Every detail is accounted for: the crimped, serrated upper edge, the convincing surface creases and folds, the slightly splayed opening, and the warm ochre glaze that perfectly mimics aged kraft paper. The "Harvey Craft Associated" stamp printed on the body functions simultaneously as maker's mark and conceptual wink — the brand identity of an object that is, of course, not what it appears to be.Harvey studied fine arts at the Université du Québec and ceramics at the Cégep de Montréal, and his Harvey Craft project — active through the 1970s and 1980s — produced a celebrated range of slip-cast trompe-l'œil vessels. His paper bag pieces are among his most iconic works, and sit comfortably within the broader Pop Art and Postmodern ceramic tradition that elevated the disposable and overlooked into enduring objects. As Harvey put it: "I collect what others have thrown out on the street and I present them to you in a different way."This is the size #1 bag — the smallest and most intimate of Harvey's bag series — suited equally as a bud vase, pen holder, or standalone sculptural object.A small chip is present at the upper left rim, consistent with age and handling.
