Introduce a grounded stillness to your Study with this Mid-Century Modern Asymmetrical Studio Vase, featuring a hand-thrown organic silhouette and a mottled blue and iron-spot glaze texture.

A captivating example of the mid-century studio movement, this 5-inch vessel celebrates the "imperfection" of hand-crafted art. The form appears almost liquid, as if the clay were caught in a moment of transformation, providing a sense of playful energy within a sophisticated Minimalist frame.

The glaze is a masterful display of depth, featuring a mottled oceanic blue that breaks over the organic ridges into rich, iron-red earth tones. Standing on a sturdy, slightly flared base, it possesses a classic weight and a timeless utility that makes it as functional as it is sculptural. Whether styled as a standalone piece in a sun-drenched study or used to hold a single, architectural spring bloom, this signed artisan vase brings a touch of nostalgic grace and a grounded atmosphere to the modern home. Its excellent condition and unique thumb-print character make it a soulful find for the serious pottery collector.

This item is vintage, approximately 50 years old. All measurements are close but approximate. I measure in quarter inches.

Material: Glazed Stoneware
Dimensions: 5.00" x 4.50" (Widest point)

Note: The "breaking" of the glaze over the pinched edges suggests a high-iron reduction firing, typical of the PNW or California studio pottery scenes.
