This distinctive pair of vintage studio pottery cups offers a tactile and soulful addition to any curated collection. Handcrafted using traditional slab-building techniques, each vessel possesses a unique, slightly irregular form that celebrates the artisan's touch over industrial uniformity. The exterior of each cup is adorned with whimsical, hand-incised geometric and celestial patterns—including stars, diamonds, and linear textures—all finished in a variegated moss green and earthy brown glaze with subtle cobalt highlights. Signed "Gartner" on the base, these pieces are as much sculptural objects as they are functional ware, making them perfect for a morning espresso or as decorative accents in a modern rustic kitchen.
The pair varies slightly in scale, with measurements of 4.75" W x 3.5" D x 2.75" H and 4.5" W x 3" D x 3" H. They are in great vintage condition, exhibiting minor glaze skips and surface blemishes consistent with their handcrafted 1970s origin. This age-appropriate wear is a testament to their authentic mid-century character, adding a storied patina that modern reproductions simply cannot replicate. For the collector of unique 20th-century ceramics, this pair provides an effortless way to bring organic texture and artisanal history into the home. Add this distinctive set to your collection today.
