About the Item

A striking mid-20th century studio pottery vase, hand-thrown with a rounded body and narrow neck, finished in a warm earthy glaze. The surface is decorated with an incised sgraffito design of a stylized tree or leaf form, executed in rhythmic looping lines that create a sense of organic movement. The clay body shows natural speckling beneath the glaze, adding texture and depth to the surface. The piece is signed on the base, likely reading Wenzel, attesting to its handmade origin. This bottle-form vase embodies the ideals of the studio pottery movement—simplicity of form, natural tones, and hand-applied decoration. A fine decorative object that bridges modernist sensibilities with timeless organic design.
