Studio Pottery Pot/Vase

This is a studio pottery pot or vase, measuring approximately 18cm in height. It features an organic, somewhat irregular shape, widening slightly from the base before gently tapering towards the rim. The pottery exhibits a coarse, unrefined texture, characteristic of hand-thrown or hand-built stoneware. The most striking features are its glazes: the upper portion is dominated by a thick, drippy, off-white or cream-colored glaze that cascades down the sides, creating naturalistic rivulets and runs. Below this, the body is primarily a mottled blend of earthy tones, including light brown, beige, and some muted orange or rust hues, suggesting a reactive glaze or a combination of different glaze applications. Near the base, there's another band of the off-white glaze, applied in a somewhat irregular fashion, echoing the top. The foot appears unglazed or thinly glazed, revealing the natural clay body. There are no visible chips, cracks, or significant damage, and the 'very good' condition noted in the accompanying text seems consistent with the visual evidence. The aesthetic suggests a mid-20th century to contemporary studio pottery piece, valuing unique textural and glazing effects over perfect symmetry or polished finishes. The craftsmanship is evident in the controlled randomness of the glaze application, creating a distinct, artisanal look.
