Mitchell Spain Studio Ceramic Penn-Rad Torch-Lite Fuel Vintage Can Tumbler Mug
CONDITION
Excellent pre-owned studio condition. No chips, cracks, or unintended wear. The rusted edges, weathering, dents, and metallic patina are entirely intentional parts of the artist's hyper-realistic trompe-l’œil ceramic glaze design. Inside is glossy, clean, and fully functional. Stamped "SPAIN" on the bottom.
DESCRIPTION
Up for sale is an exceptional piece of contemporary studio art pottery by renowned ceramicist Mitchell Spain. This hyper-realistic trompe-l’œil vessel perfectly mimics a weathered, rusted vintage Penn-Rad "Torch-Lite" Citronella Fuel can, complete with simulated dents, metallic aging, and retro graphics.
While the exterior looks exactly like a forgotten mid-century tin can, it is entirely made of high-quality handcrafted ceramic. The interior features a smooth, rich brown glossy glaze, making it highly versatile—perfect for use as a unique drinking tumbler, a flower vase, a pen holder, or a striking display sculpture.
