About the Item

This striking mid-century modern ceramic vase presents a bold and artistic form, perfect for collectors and design enthusiasts alike. Standing tall with an amphora-inspired silhouette, the vase is enhanced by two large rounded handles at the neck and smaller protruding decorative nubs along the shoulder, lending it both functionality and sculptural interest. Its unique design balances traditional vessel forms with modern artistic experimentation, making it a versatile piece that blends seamlessly with a variety of interiors. The surface of the vase is finished in a dynamic drip-glaze technique, with deep emerald green and turquoise tones cascading dramatically over a speckled base of earthy beige and dark brown. This glazing process creates an organic, almost flowing effect, with each streak of color emphasizing the hand-crafted character of the piece. The textured surface further enhances its visual appeal, catching light in subtle ways that highlight both the gloss of the glaze and the underlying speckling. Although the maker is unknown, the style suggests strong influences from mid-20th century European and American studio pottery traditions, where experimentation with glaze and form elevated ceramics into the realm of art. This vase would make a bold statement as a centerpiece on a dining or console table, or displayed among other art ceramics in a curated collection. Its timeless design and vibrant coloration ensure that it stands as both a functional vessel and an artistic object of beauty.
