Crafted from ceramic, the body is thrown with a series of fine, evenly spaced horizontal ribs encircling the upper half, creating a subtle, rhythmic texture that shifts with the light. The matte glaze is a soft, mossy jade that moves through celadon, sage, and deeper pine green, with gentle cloudlike variations that give the surface a velvety, almost suede-like depth. Pale, creamy highlights gather along the raised ribs, while the color settles into richer tones in the recesses and across the lower belly. A small ochre-toned blush near the shoulder and faint kiln speckles add the unmistakable character of a handmade object. At the foot, a narrow ring of unglazed, pale clay reveals the body beneath and lifts the form with quiet precision. Modest in scale yet sculptural in presence, the vase recalls the restrained, earthy elegance of mid-century studio pottery, with a calm, garden-inspired palette.

Place this vase on a mantel, bookshelf, bedside table, windowsill, or dining table, where it can hold a few stems of garden flowers, eucalyptus, or dried grasses, or stand alone as a small sculptural accent. It complements Mid-Century Modern, Organic Modern, Japandi, Cottage, and Farmhouse interiors. To care for it, dust with a soft dry cloth, wipe gently with a lightly dampened cloth, and avoid abrasive cleaners, soaking, and sudden temperature changes to protect the matte glaze. The vase measures 4 inches (102 mm) wide, 4 inches (102 mm) deep, and 4.5 inches (114 mm) high. Condition is very good, with a well-preserved glaze, minor surface irregularities, a small discoloration spot, and no visible cracks or chips. Add this charming piece to your collection today.
