Art Pottery Vase with Stylized Figures

This is a small, round-bodied ceramic vase or pot with a slightly flared rim and a narrow base. The primary color scheme consists of a light, possibly off-white, glazed ceramic at the top rim and bottom base, contrasting with a band of mottled olive to lime green glaze around the body. The green section is decorated with what appear to be stylized, almost abstract, figures of animals or humanoids, rendered in white or very light gray with dark outlines. There are at least two such figures visible, seemingly in motion or interaction. Their forms are elongated and angular, with small, pointed heads and limbs. The craftsmanship suggests a hand-painted or hand-decorated piece, possibly studio pottery, given the organic feel of the glazes and the artistic style of the figures. The glaze itself appears somewhat uneven in color, which could be part of its artisanal charm or indicative of its manufacturing process. No obvious chips, cracks, or repairs are visible from the image, but the surface exhibits a subtle sheen, typical of glazed pottery. The style could be mid-20th century, possibly influenced by folk art or modernist aesthetics. The size appears to be suitable for holding small flowers or as a decorative object on its own.
