(It reminds us of malachite!) The form is classic yet dynamic, with a full, rounded body and a delicately flared neck, evoking the natural fluidity and spontaneity of molten glaze techniques.

This handmade studio art pottery vase bears the impressed mark “1176” on its base—likely a mold or artist code—suggesting limited production from a small artisan studio. The glaze technique and numbering are consistent with mid-century ceramic workshops in California, Vallauris (France), or West Germany, where master potters prioritized expressive glaze work and sculptural form over mass production.

Original vintage condition
Green and turquoise drip glaze over stoneware
Hand-thrown or slip-cast with individually glazed finish
Signed/marked on base: “1176”
Estimated date: 1950s–1970s
Mid-century studio pottery; likely American or European origin

Styling Suggestions:
This statement vase makes a stunning focal point on a console table, pedestal, or bookshelf. Use it to display a single branch of curly willow or dried florals for a modern organic look. It also complements wabi-sabi, bohemian, or maximalist interiors when grouped with other art pottery or vintage ceramics.

Pair it with matte black vessels, natural stone, or brass accents to elevate its jewel-toned glaze. Its rich color and painterly surface make it equally suited for modernist, coastal, or eclectic interiors with designer flair.
