Signed Robert Maxwell Beastie Critter Ceramic Figurine 11 (Mid Century Modern)

A rare and expressive example of mid-century California studio pottery, this Robert Maxwell “Beastie” Critter figurine captures the artist’s signature blend of whimsy and modernist form. Hand-formed in ceramic, these imaginative creatures, often referred to as “Beasties”, were a defining part of Maxwell’s work, merging sculptural abstraction with playful character. 

With its organic silhouette and tactile surface, the piece feels both primitive and refined. Subtle irregularities and hand-worked details reflect its studio origins, making each example uniquely expressive.

Highly collectible and increasingly sought after, this figurine offers a distinctive way to introduce personality and depth into a curated interior; equally at home on a shelf, console, or within a layered vignette.
