Modern Art Pottery Vase with Metallic Gold and Green Glaze

This is a substantial art pottery vase featuring a striking two-tone glaze. The vase has a bulbous, ovoid body that tapers to a narrower neck and a relatively small mouth. Its dominant colors are a deep, rich forest green and a shimmering metallic gold, which appears to be applied in an organic, dripping or flowing pattern. The green glaze forms the base color, covering the majority of the lower body and the interior of the neck. The metallic gold glaze is concentrated around the shoulder and upper body, with irregular, elongated drips extending downwards over the green background, creating a dynamic and somewhat abstract visual effect. The surface exhibits a high gloss finish, reflecting ambient light. There are no immediate visible signs of major cracks, chips, or repairs from the provided image; however, closer inspection would be required to ascertain any subtle surface imperfections or wear commensurate with age. The distinct application of glazes suggests a modern art pottery style, potentially from the mid to late 20th century or contemporary. The heavy, lustrous glazes and the bold color combination indicate a decorative piece designed for aesthetic impact. The craftsmanship appears to be of good quality, with an even glaze application in the green areas and a seemingly deliberate, artistic irregularity in the gold application. No obvious maker's marks or signatures are discernible in the photograph.
