Mary Kirk Kelly Signed Ceramic Red Bell Pepper

A hand-sculpted ceramic red bell pepper by American ceramic artist Mary Kirk Kelly, known for her remarkably lifelike botanical and fruit sculptures.

This petite pepper captures the natural curves and irregularities of a real bell pepper, from its deeply lobed form to the contrasting green stem. The saturated red surface has a soft matte appearance that gives the piece an almost velvety quality.

Signed by the artist.

Mary Kirk Kelly's ceramic fruits and vegetables are individually formed and finished, celebrating the subtle variations found in nature. Her botanical sculptures have become collectible decorative objects that work beautifully displayed individually or grouped with other pieces from her work.
