Ben Owen III Vase Showcases Seagrove Pottery Tradition

This exceptional square‑shouldered melon egg vase by renowned Seagrove potter Ben Owen III reflects both artistic mastery and a celebrated North Carolina pottery legacy.

While Ben Owen III comes from a distinguished lineage of master potters, his own talent and innovative approach have earned him national recognition. His work is highly sought after, and he has been honored as one of Southern Living’s Heroes of the New South. This vase represents a rare opportunity to acquire a piece that embodies tradition, craftsmanship, and contemporary excellence in American pottery.
