Discover the tactile allure and expressive form of this petite vintage studio pottery vessel. A unique example of Brutalist ceramic art, this piece features a reticulated body with organic cutouts, suggesting its potential use as a tea light luminary or an incense holder where air flow and light play are essential. The hand-built form is adorned with sculptural clay "nubs" along the rim and finished in a thick, curdled drip glaze of vibrant violet and creamy white. This colorful application cascades dramatically over the raw, unglazed earthy stoneware base, capturing the free-spirited experimentation of the 1970s studio craft movement.
Measurements are 3.75 inches in width, 3.5 inches in depth, and 4 inches in height. Ideally sized to act as a "small but mighty" accent on a bookshelf or side table, this vessel is in great vintage condition. It exhibits the charming irregularities of a hand-thrown object, including texture in the glaze and asymmetry in the form, which are not defects but rather hallmarks of its artisan origin and vintage patina. Add this expressive pop of purple and architectural intrigue to your collection today.
