Excellent vintge condition. No damage, clean. This beautiful Ikebana flower frog was made in the USA by Homestead Pottery in Texas. The maker's mark is very clear. It is considered contemporary American studio craft style and era, which spans from the late 20th century into the 21st century. The studio was founded near Waco, Texas, in 1990.

This is handmade and very collectible, regional folk art. Master potters throw and shape their functional stoneware by hand using traditional, time-tested wheel-throwing methods. Their pieces are typically finished using a wood-fired kiln, which introduces natural variations and gives each item a distinctive, rich glaze.

It is "low-key" in design, which describes items that are subtle, quiet, and unpretentious. Instead of demanding immediate attention with bright neon colors or sharp, flashy angles, this piece uses a deep, calming blue glaze and a smooth, rounded shape.

This specific vase is a perfect example of a popular sub-trend within the contemporary American craft movement: borrowing traditional, ancient global concepts—such as the Japanese art of Moribana Ikebana—and reinterpreting them through rustic, regional American folk art pottery.

Measurement: 4.5" L; 1.5" T. Please view all photos as they are part of the description. According to research, this exact vintage piece is a retired style. See less
