Abingdon Pottery Blue Daisy Ruffled Vase

This is a vintage ceramic vase produced by Abingdon Pottery, identified by its characteristic soft blue glaze and floral motif. The vessel features a tall, slightly waisted cylindrical form that flares out into an elegant ruffled or scalloped rim. It is constructed from heavy vitreous art pottery, typical of the Abingdon Illinois manufacturer during the mid-20th century, likely dating between the 1930s and 1950s. The exterior is finished in a semi-matte to satin light blue glaze, accented by a raised, slip-decorated white floral design depicting daisies and elongated leaves on the front face. The craftsmanship shows the solid, high-quality industrial art pottery transition of the era. Regarding condition, the piece shows visible surface grime, organic debris, and some scuffing consistent with outdoor storage or use. There appear to be minor mineral deposits and small dark specks on the glaze, but no large structural cracks or major chips are immediately apparent on the body, though the rim and base should be inspected for flea bites. The interior likely bears the stamped 'Abingdon' mark on the bottom, though it is not visible here.
