Limited-time offer Earthy Ikebana-type Studio Pottery Vase or Bowl With Painterly Glazing

This striking and wonderfully earthy studio pottery vase feels as much a sculptural object as a functional vessel, and with its gorgeous painterly glazing has a different personality from every angle, making it especially well suited for the center of the table. 

Use it with a flower frog to create an arrangement, as a planter for a narcissus or amaryllis, as a bowl ( I think clementines would look spectacular in it) or just as a beautiful object for display.

The hand thrown vase is signed at the bottom. It was purchased at the estate sale of a family of artists and collectors in Marblehead, MA, which included a fantastic collection of mid-century and contemporary ceramics from Japan, Europe and the U.S.

In perfect condition, it measures approximately 7 inches at widest diameter, and 2 1/4 inches at the base.
