Hand-Thrown Studio Pottery Pitcher with Cobalt Leaf Motif

This is a hand-thrown ceramic pitcher crafted in a contemporary studio pottery style. The vessel features a bulbous body tapering slightly toward the base and neck, with a functional loop handle and a practical pouring spout. In terms of color, the primary body is finished in a light grey or off-white celadon-style glaze with visible horizontal throwing rings that indicate a wheel-thrown construction. The most striking decorative element consists of four stylized, tear-drop or leaf-shaped motifs executed in a deep, glossy cobalt blue glaze. These blue accents are slightly recessed or 'incised' into the clay body, creating a tactile depth. In terms of condition, the pitcher appears to be in good vintage or contemporary condition with no immediately visible cracks or large chips to the rim or spout, although there is typical surface wear consistent with age and domestic use. The style suggests a late 20th-century or 21st-century origin, likely made by a regional artisan rather than a mass-production factory. Its craftsmanship shows a balance of rustic texture and refined glazing, characteristic of high-quality handcrafted stoneware.
