This vintage studio pottery vase is a beautifully crafted example of hand-thrown stoneware, showcasing an organic, sculptural silhouette with a bulbous body and narrow, slightly flared neck. The form is both grounded and graceful, making it a statement piece for collectors and design enthusiasts alike.

Crafted from high-fired stoneware clay, the vase features a natural, speckled beige base with an expressive application of abstract glaze splashes in tones of charcoal, rust, and amber. The irregularity and fluidity of the glaze patterns suggest a wood-fired or reduction-fired process, lending each mark a sense of spontaneity and unique character. The surface combines both matte and semi-gloss textures, offering rich visual depth and a tactile finish.
