Klytie Pate Pottery Vase

This appears to be a Klytie Pate Pottery Vase, characterized by its distinctive spherical or globular form with a short, slightly flaring neck. The vase exhibits a vibrant, graduated color scheme, transitioning from a rich, golden yellow at the top to a deep, mossy green towards the base. This color variation, often referred to as a 'drip' or 'ombré' effect, is a hallmark of certain pottery styles and glazes. The surface boasts a high-gloss, reflective glaze that indicates a well-fired and finished piece. Small imperfections or textural variations are visible on the surface, typical of handcrafted pottery, which might include subtle ripples in the glaze or minor inclusions. The rim of the vase is relatively thick and appears to be uniformly glazed. The overall construction suggests a robust and stable base, though the specific dimensions are not provided, it appears to be a medium-sized decorative piece. Without further information or a view of the base, specific maker's marks, signatures, or stamps are indiscernible. The craftsmanship suggests a unique, artisan-made piece rather than mass-produced. Based on the provided context of 'Klytie Pate pottery vase,' this suggests it is post-1930s Australian studio pottery, known for its distinctive glazes and forms. The condition appears to be generally good, with no immediately obvious chips, cracks, or significant repair work visible in the provided images, though detailed inspection would be required to confirm this. The luminosity of the glaze and the smooth transition of colors are indicative of quality and attention to detail in the glazing process.
