The organic, flowing botanical motif and integrated side handles are hallmarks of the Art Nouveau decorative movement, where natural forms influenced both structure and surface design. The glaze transitions from deep earthy brown at the rim into layered greens with vertical movement, giving the body a painterly, atmospheric quality typical of early art pottery traditions. The soft lavender-purple wisteria blooms provide a beautiful tonal contrast and reinforce the period botanical styling.

Likely early to mid 20th century (circa 1910–1940), during the period when Art Nouveau and Arts & Crafts–influenced pottery emphasized nature-driven forms and hand-finished surfaces. The underside shows a small etched mark under the glaze, consistent with workshop or studio production rather than later mass-manufactured ceramics.

Measures 7.25” tall, 6” wide, and 6” deep.

Authentic vintage condition with light, age-appropriate surface wear and natural glaze variation from the firing process. Minor base wear as expected. No cracks or structural damage observed. See less
