This is a tall, ovoid floor vase with a narrow foot and soft rounded shoulders. The surface features a pale grey-blue crackle glaze with fine, branch-like crazing, washed with soft mossy greens and smoky charcoal tones. Near the base, flashes of brick red and warm earth tones break through, giving it a subtle, volcanic edge.

Signed “Ferguson” incised near the base on one side. Crackle and surface variations are intentional and characteristic of the raku process, not damage. No visible chips, cracks, or repairs; presents in excellent vintage condition based on close inspection.

Perfect as a statement vessel on a console, pedestal, or low shelf, and strong enough visually to stand alone without flowers. See less
