Mid-Century Ovoid Drip-Glazed Ceramic Vase

This item is an ovoid-shaped ceramic vase standing approximately 8 to 10 inches tall based on the scaling of the adjacent beverage can. The piece is constructed from high-fired stoneware or earthenware and features a multi-tonal drip-glaze aesthetic. The primary body color is a deep, chocolate brown with a semi-gloss finish. The decorative element consists of a broad, diagonal sweep of layered glazes in tones of ochre, moss green, and cream. These accent glazes exhibit a thick, textured application with linear 'combing' or sgraffito-style marks that provide a sense of movement. The top rim is slightly inverted with a smooth, glazed finish. The overall craftsmanship suggests a mid-20th-century studio pottery influence, likely from the 1960s or 1970s. The piece shows minor surface abrasions consistent with age and shelf wear, particularly near the base. There are no visible large-scale cracks or chips on the primary display surface. The glaze shows good vibrancy with a slight natural orange-peel texture characteristic of kiln-fired ceramics from this period. The absence of a visible maker's mark in the photo suggests it may be signed on the underside of the base.
