Teal Glazed Ceramic Decanter or Oil/Vinegar Cruet with Stopper

This item is a ceramic decanter or cruet, likely used for oil, vinegar, or spirits, featuring a unique teal, possibly aquamarine, glaze. It measures approximately 8-10 inches in height, including the stopper. The body of the cruet is elegantly crafted with a slender neck that flares slightly at the mouth, forming a small pour spout. A gracefully curved handle is integrated into the side, providing an ergonomic grip. The exterior of the body is adorned with a relief pattern of swirling, organic motifs that wrap around the vessel, suggesting a hand-thrown or hand-decorated origin. The craftsmanship appears to be of good quality, with evenly applied glaze and intricate detailing. The glaze has a lustrous, semi-gloss finish. The stopper is made of ceramic, matching the body in color and glaze, and features a similar swirling relief pattern. It is attached to a cork base, which fits snugly into the cruet's neck, indicating its function to seal the contents. Visible condition issues are minimal from the provided image; the surface appears intact without major chips, cracks, or repairs, though a closer inspection would be needed to confirm the absence of crazing or minor wear. The cork shows some signs of use, consistent with its function. The style suggests a mid-20th century, possibly 1960s-1970s, aesthetic, potentially leaning towards a studio pottery or an artisan-crafted piece due to the distinctive design and textured surface. No clear manufacturer's marks or signatures are discernible from the images, which is common for handmade or smaller production pottery.
