Modern Ceramic Bud Vase with Sculpted Peony Motif

This item is a decorative ceramic bud vase featuring a contemporary silhouette with a distinctive three-dimensional floral embellishment. The body is cylindrical with slightly rounded shoulders leading to a short, narrow neck and a simple flared rim. The base material appears to be a white ceramic or stoneware, finished in a high-gloss off-white or cream glaze that exhibits a subtle crackle texture upon close inspection. The central focal point is a large, hand-formed sculptural flower, resembling a peony or carnation, applied to the front surface. This floral element is finished in a vibrant chartreuse or olive-green glaze with high-shine properties. The petals are meticulously ruffled and layered, creating significant depth and organic texture. Regarding condition, the vase appears to be in very good contemporary state; the glaze on the body and the intricate petals of the flower show no immediate signs of significant chipping or structural fractures, which is rare for such delicate applied work. There are no visible maker's marks or signatures on the upper body, suggesting a modern production, likely from the late 20th to early 21st century. The craftsmanship is evident in the transition between the smooth vase body and the complex, fragile ceramic petals.
