This is a beautiful, hand-finished vintage studio art pottery pocket or pillow vase dated 1992. The piece features a striking flat-sided, narrow silhouette designed to sit perfectly on a mantel, windowsill, or shallow shelf. It showcases a wonderful contrast between an organic, earthy exterior and a bold, vibrant interior.
Design and GlazeThe exterior is finished in a rich, multi-toned moss green and mustard yellow cascading drip glaze that pools beautifully along the heavy, diagonal swirling ribs on the sides. The interior features a surprise pop-art contrast with a smooth, solid monochrome bright orange glaze.
Condition and MarkingsThe vase is in excellent vintage condition with no chips, cracks, crazing, or repairs. The underside is fully glazed and features a hand-incised production year code of 92 alongside a unique, stylized geometric maker's cipher resembling the initials SE or a custom draftsman mark. Three small kiln stilt scars are present on the base, confirming its authentic, hand-fired studio origin.
Dimensions and OriginThis piece was acquired in the historic arts region of Cedar City, Utah, and stands as a fantastic example of late-20th-century independent artisan craftsmanship. It is the perfect accent piece for Mid-Century Modern, retro 1970s, or contemporary southwestern home decor.
