Rare 16” Vintage Roseville Raymor 1-Gallon Stoneware Vessel (Model 187 Base) – Ben Seibel Design (As-Is Display Piece)

Bring a commanding piece of mid-century modern industrial design into your space. This is the massive, oversized base vessel (Model 187) from the iconic Raymor Modern Stoneware line, manufactured by the legendary Roseville Pottery between 1952 and 1954.

Designed by mid-century master Ben Seibel, this monumental 16-inch wide stoneware piece features his signature low-slung silhouette and dramatic, elongated horizontal handles. Originally manufactured as a 1-gallon bean pot, this listing is for the base vessel only (no lid included). Without the lid, it functions perfectly as a striking architectural centerpiece, a stunning succulent planter, or a minimalist catchall for an entryway credenza.

Condition Notes (Vintage/As-Is):
This piece has been coated in later paint and plaster by a previous owner. Beneath the paint layers, it features a stable hairline crack along the body. It is being sold strictly as-is for a restoration project or a rustic, decorative display piece. The price has been significantly reduced to reflect the missing lid, the paint layers, and the underlying hairline crack.

A rare find for picker-collectors who love restoring mid-century ceramics, or for anyone looking for an authentic 1950s brutalist-modern statement piece
