Hand-thrown on the potter’s wheel, it features a sculptural silhouette that rises to a narrow neck and gently flared lip. The surface reveals a mesmerizing iridescent drip glaze, where tones of blue, copper, and green flow organically over a dark ground, capturing the dynamic spontaneity of hand-fired ceramics.



Crafted by an independent studio potter, this piece reflects the Modern and Studio Craft movements that flourished across the United States in the mid-20th century. Artists of the period often embraced experimentation with glaze chemistry and kiln atmospheres, creating one-of-a-kind surfaces with depth and metallic sheen — qualities that distinguish this vase as both art object and design statement.



Whether displayed as a stand-alone accent or integrated within a collection of studio ceramics, this vessel brings a tactile, elemental warmth to modern interiors.

A refined example of American Studio Pottery and mid-century modern ceramic artistry.
