Art Pottery Fluted Tulip Vase

This is a mid-century art pottery vase featuring a distinctive fluted or tulip-like form. The vessel stands on a narrow pedestal base, swelling into a rounded bulbous body before tapering at the neck and flaring out into a dramatic six-lobed scalloped rim. It is constructed from ceramic earthenware, finished with a rich, two-tone drip glaze. The primary exterior color is a mottled sage or seafoam green with a heavy crystalline texture, which is layered over a dark chocolate brown base that is most visible along the vertical ridges and the shoulder of the base. The interior appears to have a contrasting warm terracotta or brownish-orange glaze. This style is characteristic of American art pottery from the 1940s to 1960s, often associated with manufacturers like Hull, Red Wing, or Haeger, though no specific maker's mark is visible in this view. The condition appears excellent with a high-gloss finish, no visible cracks, chips, or major crazing, reflecting high-quality slip-cast craftsmanship and careful preservation. The vertical ribbing provides both structural strength and a dynamic surface for the glaze to pool and break, creating a sense of movement.
