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.

Item Specifications:

- Artist: Mitchell Spain

- Design: Penn-Rad Torch-Lite Fuel Can

- Material: Studio Ceramic / Pottery

- Height: 6.25 inches

- Markings: Stamped "SPAIN" on the base

- Functionality: Food-safe glossy interior glaze

Condition Note:

Please note that all "rust," "stains," and "wear" visible on the exterior graphic are masterfully executed ceramic glaze effects created by the artist and do not represent actual damage or defects to the stoneware piece itself.

Perfect for collectors of modern studio pottery, pop art, trompe-l'œil ceramics, or unique advertising memorabilia.
