Handcrafted in 1976 by an unidentified studio potter, this distinctive stoneware vase showcases the creativity and individuality that defined the North American studio pottery movement. Its gracefully flared silhouette is finished in a beautiful teal crackle glaze, while hand-applied white slip decoration wraps organically around the body, creating a striking textural contrast.
Wheel-thrown and carefully finished by hand, the vase bears the artist's incised signature and date, preserving its unique story even though the maker has not yet been identified. Whether displayed alone or filled with dried botanicals, it offers an authentic blend of craftsmanship, artistry, and vintage charm.
