A small ceramic vase with a rounded shoulder, short neck, and a deep red-brown mottled glaze that shifts across the surface.
The narrow mouth is made for a few stems rather than a large bouquet. That restraint lets the glaze do the work, and the pooled color gives the vase a sense of movement even when it is empty.
Small pottery vases have always been useful because they turn one flower, a cutting from the garden, or a dried branch into a complete arrangement. The handmade-looking glaze keeps it from reading as ordinary household ware.
Condition: Light shelf wear. No maker mark is apparent.
The vase stands roughly 6 inches high against the tape.
