Bill Reid 1978 Studio Pottery Soup Tureen

Updated September 17, 2026

Signed studio pottery lidded soup tureen by Bill Reid, dated 1978, incised on the underside "Bill Reid 1978." The stoneware body features a rich tobacco-brown glaze at the base transitioning to a pale oatmeal glaze banded with hand-painted cobalt blue scrollwork, and is finished with an elaborately textured, pierced pedestal foot in a scalloped and beaded motif. Twin loop handles flank the body, echoing traditional tureen forms while showcasing the potter's individual hand-building and glazing technique. The lid includes a notched cutout designed to accommodate a ladle handle, a thoughtful functional detail. Studio pottery pieces like this are appealing to collectors for their one-of-a-kind artistry and functional tableware use. Measures approximately 9.5" H x 7.5" W. Condition: Good vintage condition. Wear commensurate with age. Glaze is intact throughout with expected small pitting/specking from the firing process; no chips, cracks, or losses noted. Please review photos closely; we do our best to catch all flaws but small imperfections can be missed. Dimensions: H: 9.5", W: 7.5"
