beautiful, heavy-weight studio pottery bottle vase dating to the mid-to-late 20th century. This piece perfectly bridges the gap between rustic folk art and Mid-Century Modernism, heavily inspired by traditional Asian sgraffito pottery techniques.

The vase features a striking, thick turquoise-green glaze that has been deeply hand-carved (sgraffito technique) to strip away channels of color, beautifully exposing the raw, contrasting buff-terracotta clay body underneath. The shoulder is decorated with an intricate geometric panel design, giving way to fluid, stylized floral and leaf motifs around the bulbous body.

The underside features a fully glazed turquoise base encircled by a clean, flat, unglazed foot rim typical of mid-century studio/import manufacture. The glaze displays a wonderful micro-pitted, textured character with natural firing pinholes that enhance its rustic charm.
